The Directives for string

Hey 😊 I tried to exclude #include<string> and just have the iostream as per the little description on the 'Strings' tab, and the program failed to work. When I tried the other way around... that failed as well. What am I doing wrong?

Some compilers automatically include the <string> header for you when you include <iostream>, but there is no guarantee for it to happen. VS compiler, for example, does not. Hence, it is encouraged that you include the <string> header whenever your code involves the use of std::string.

Oh, I understand now, thank you. I am, in fact using Visual Studio so that explains it. ☺️

I'm working on something bigger, but this is what I was testing to find an efficient method: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <cstdlib> int Main() { std:: string word; std::course << "Please enter a word\n\n"; std::cin >> word; system("pause"); return 0; }
