strcpy problem

I have the following code, and am trying to copy an array of charactes from one variable to another:

Code:

char name[15];
int age;

cout << "Name:";
cin.getline(n, 15);
cout << "Age:"; cin >> a;

age = a;
strcpy(name, n);

"name" is declared somewhere else in the program, as char[15]..

The error i'm getting is that "strcpy" is an undeclared identifier.

Have you put #include <cstring> at the top of your program?

Or just write one for fun.

Code:

char * strcpy(char * target, char * source){
char * index = target; 
 while(*source != 0)       { 
  *(index++) = *(source++);
 }
*index = 0;
return target;
}
