cout a string variable?

[Winter]

A little confused here, I'm getting this error.

EDIT: char* works for me, i'm not quite sure what strings are used for.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string str = "tester";
    cout << str << endl;
}

#include <string>

Thanks, I just figured that out.

String is much more convenient than char*.

You need to include the necessary headers:

// you don't need cstdlib here
#include <string> // but you do use std::string
#include <iostream> // and std::cout and std::endl

// using namespace std; // avoid "use all"
int main()
{
    using std::string; // explicit using
    string str = "tester";
    std::cout << str << std::endl;
}
