why does this short program keep telling me that strings a-j are not declared?

Question

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j;
int choice1;
int choice2;
int p1points;
int p2points;
a=threadwire;
b=hammer;
c=knife;
d=acid;
e=pistol;
f=rifle;
g=grenade;
h=bazooka;
i=rpg;
j=tank;

Answer 1

you forgot to add your quotes to the declaration of string. for example f="rifle" instead of f=rifle. the latter is saying set variable f equal to variable rifle which doesn't exist

Answer 2

thanks destro. it worked. really helpful

Answer 3

we should declare it like a="jac"; and not a=jac because jac is not a variable. if it is str a="abc" ;
str b="a";
then a is abc and b a but if it is b=a;
b is abc

Answer 4
