Using 'if' with char arrays or string objects

Oh, my bad. I must have problems reading:)

Not <string.h> for the string class, just <string>. No standard C++ headers end in .h.

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\hangman\hangman.h(4) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'word'
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\hangman\hangman.h(4) : error C2501: 'string' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\hangman\hangman.h(4) : error C2501: 'word' : missing storage-class or type specifiers


You have a missing ; and then something about "missing storage-class" (sorry, don't know about this one).

The rest of the errors just occur because of the first ones. Fix the first error, and the other 100 will also disappear (magic :)).

Why is the struct extern? You are not linking the header file, you include it in your main program.

These too are tied together for a reason. The compiler is not recognizing string as a valid type therefore it thinks that is a variable name with no type definition(storage class). The missing ; is because of how you declare variables, aka int a;char b; //ect.

Thx everyone. I don't know if any of that will fix the problem yet, but I'm gonna try it out.

As for the 'extern', I was having linking errors b4 and someone told me to use that. If I should take it out what would i do to fix the linking errors?

These are the errors i get when i take out the 'extern' and all that stuff:

Code:

Check out all my source code on the first page if u need any more info and once again thx a lot 4 your help even though it's all 4 a hangman game... it's a learning experience i guess you could say

It turns out to be a big problem ....
Please tell us about the resulte....

LQQK, Please I want you to check if you realy have string.h in your lib files.... : COULD YOU PLEASE TRY TO WRITE ANOTHER SMALL PROGRAM .. AND INCLUDE STRINGS.H AND TRY TO COMPILE IT ... FOR EXAMPLE:

Code:

---

# include<iostream>;
#include<strings.h>;

int main()
{
string str1= " this is a string";
cout<< str1<<endl;
cout<< "let me know what happend.?"

return 0;
}

---

If you got the same problem, that means that you have problem with your ver. of C++...

s***....

From this code

Code:

---

#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
string str1= " this is a string";
cout<< str1<<endl;
cout<< "let me know what happend.?"

return 0;
}

---

I get these errors

Code:

wtf is wrong?

btw i don't know if i mentioned it but i have visual c++ 6.0

I will try to test it right now and I will tell you what is going onnnnnnnnnnnn


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............:confused:

Try this now...

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string>

int main()
{
string str1= " this is a string";
cout<< str1<<endl;
cout<< "let me know what happend.?";

return 0;
}

I hope you got something out of it.

nope... same thing.

The strings used to work, so how come they don't work anymore?

Does it work or it doesn;t


I could'nt understand...
if not please post your error message...

it doesn't work

it gives me pretty much the same errors as b4.

it has no idea what a string is for some reason.

how can i fix this problem?
