String Variable in C++

We can define the variable as string data type or not.

I have read by including the header file string.h, you can declare string type variable.
But my program is having errors:- UNDEFINED SYMBOL STRING

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
string Name;
name="sonia";
cin.get();
return 0;
}

---

How can we declare the string variable??

In ansi c++ the way to write this program is

Code:

---

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

int main()
{
string Name;
Name="sonia";
cin.get();
return 0;

---

If this produces compile errors then the compiler you are using is NOT ansi c++ compliant and I would strongly suggest you change the compiler you are using to one that is ansi compilant.

Note that in your code you have string Name but use name="sonia". In c++ Name and name are different variables.
