 |
|
I am trying to write a program using string's and/or char's...
When I declare a string identifier, I am getting an error
indicating that this is an out-of-date method of declaring:
string firstName, lastName;
What is wrong with this declaration???
TIA.

Well it's std::string.
Try this -
#include <string>
std::string firstName, lastName;

That depends what else you've got in the file. I'm assuming
you've remember to include the standard string header:
#include <string> // Note: not <string.h> which is
// something completely different.
Also, unless you've got a very old compiler / standard
library, the string type will be in namespace std. There
are several ways to access this. One possibility is to
fully qualify the string identifier:
std::string firstName, lastName;
Another possibility is to put a using directive somewhere
above the use of string:
using namespace std;
