How to cout a string??

[newbieKing]

I've been using Borland 5.0, and am trying to use Visual C++ 6.0.
outputting a string in borland is fine but i can't seem to cout strings in visual. Am i missing an include file??
This is what i've included:

#include <math.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>
using namespace std;

void main()
{
string word = &quot;hello&quot;;
cout << word;
}

stirng2.cpp
c:\documents and settings\laurence\my documents\visual c++\first simulation\stirng2.cpp(15) : error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class s
td::allocator<char> >' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
Error executing cl.exe.

Please tell me what i'm missing.
Thank you!

try adding

[tt]#include <iostream>[/tt]

i've tried that...
still doesn't work

 

[qednick]

OK, either remove the

[tt]#include <fstream.h>[/tt]

or do this instead:[tt]

std::cout << word;[/tt]

The problem is the abiguity bwteen headers and namespace.

Thanks, but it still doesn't work....


#include <math.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>
using namespace std;

void main()
{
string word = &quot;hello&quot;;
std::cout << word;

}

Why not use char* instead of string, that should do it
so you would have
char* word= &quot;hello&quot;
instead of string word= &quot;hello&quot;

 

[qednick]

it should be

[tt]#include <iostream>[/tt]

not

[tt]#include <iostream.h>[/tt]

Thank you for all your help! After a long time i finally figured out that i made 2 errors:
i should have put <iostream> and <iomanip> instead of <iostream.h> and <iomanip.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

string word = &quot;Hello!&quot;
cout << endl
<< word << endl;
cin.ignore();return 0;
}

oops forgot the token &quot;;&quot; after hello.
