How do I declare a word-answer-variable?

[begremera]

What command do I use do declare a variable that should collect a word? If i was collecting an integer I would use "int" but what do I use when collecting a word answer?

I want to write a "If Else" program that either convert swedish Kronas to Euro or the other way around...

You could use a string.
Its in the <string> header

std::string str;
std::cin >> str;

It depemds on how will look a menu of selections. If it will look for example the following way

Euro........1
Krones.....2

Exit.........0

then you can declare an int object that will get user input.

So I write
#include <string> in the header...
