What's wrong with my code?

Question

//test program 0.1

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main( void )
{
  using std::cout;
  using std:: cin;
  using std::string;

  int menuNum;
  String name;
 
  cout << "Hello, what is your name?";
  cin >> name;

  //displays the users name

  cout << "hello, " << name.c_str();
return 0;
}

I get the error:1>c:\users\admin\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\testpro1\testpro1\file1.cpp(20) : error C2228: left of '.c_str' must have class/struct/union
1>        type is ''unknown-type''

What did I do wrong?

Answer 1

String should be string, with a lower case s. And there's no need for that c_str(), you can send a string object directly to cout.

string name;

 

Lowercase 's'.

Answer 3

S tring should be s tring, with a lower case s. And there's no need for that c_str(), you can send a string object directly to cout.
