    Unhappy Bloodshed not recognizing "string"!?

    string partnum;

    Bloodshed is not recognizing that declaration say syntax error before ';' ? What's wrong? This code is supposed to work? I have included all the libraries it
    needs:

    #include<iomanip.h>
    #include<fstream.h>
    #include<iostream.h>
    #include<string.h>
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>

    maybe you have a constant before the includes without ';' at the end?

    #include <string> // no .h

    std::string partnum;
    // or make the using namespace declaration

    using namespace std;
    string partnum2;
    Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud

    This is what I use with Bloodshed:

    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;

    int main(){

    string name;
    cout<<"What is your name?"<<endl;
    cin>>name;
    cout<<"Your name is "<<name<<endl;

    }

    If your compiler supports namespaces then you can forgo the .h extensions and use the newer header files.
    Code:
    #include <cstdlib> 
    #include <iostream> 
    #include <string> 
    using namespace std; 
    
    int main() { 
    
      string name; 
      cout<<"What is your name?"<<endl; 
      cin>>name; 
      cout<<"Your name is "<<name<<endl;
     
      //return something :)
      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    
    }
    My best code is written with the delete key.
