Strings question (Newbie)

[NOMADMAN]

How do you use/declare strings.

I have #include <string.h> is that the one I need? I tried declaring my string as:
string myString;

didn't work.

#include <string>
...
std::string myString;

or

#include <string>
using namespace std;
...
string myString;

i bought a book it has an example like this:

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

char str1[], str2[], strout[];

int main()
{
str1 = 'ABC';
str2 = 'def';
strout = str1 + str2;
cout << strout;

return 0;
}

you mean it will not work in vc++ 6.0?
and explain me please why I get errors on the above code
