    string class errors

    I'm getting errors for using string's '==' operator and for displaying one with cout. Is doing that wrong, or do these error mean something else?

    error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<ch
    ar> >' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

    error C2784: 'bool __cdecl std::operator ==(const class std::allocator<_Ty> &,const class std::allocator<_U> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const class std
    ::allocator<_Ty> &' from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >'

    error C2784: 'bool __cdecl std::operator ==(const class std::istreambuf_iterator<_E,_Tr> &,const class std::istreambuf_iterator<_E,_Tr> &)' : could not deduce template ar
    gument for 'const class std::istreambuf_iterator<_E,_Tr> &' from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >'

    deduce template argument for 'const class std::reverse_iterator<_RI,_Ty,_Rt,_Pt,_D> &' from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >'

    td::pair<_T1,_T2> &' from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >'

    error C2676: binary '==' : 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >' does not define this operator or a conversion to a ty
    pe acceptable to the predefined operator

    Balance.exe - 6 error(s), 0 warning(s)

    for '==' I'm comparing two strings and for cout I have a string in the out stream.

    string GetName()
    string search

    Code:
    if(search == Accounts[x].GetName())
    			{
    				AmountFound++;
    				ReturnValue[AmountFound] = Accounts[x].GetIDNumber();
    			}
    Code:
    cout << MyAccount.GetName() << endl;
    *edit* You want complete code, do ya? Sure...

    Did you include the <string> header?

    Fixed problem... I was using cstring and iostream- I needed to use string and iostream (C++ versions)

    Oh great- now that the code compiles, it's riddled with bugs- or, one bug. Upon running the program, it crashes. I can't seem to pinpoint where. Whatever I comment out, it still crashes.

    How far does it get? What debug information do you get? What is the error message when it crashes?

    It's an unhandled exception error. I'm having trouble finding where it dies, because the debugger won't tell me. I'm not at my comp right now, when I get to it (it being my computer) I'll play around and then give more precise info.

    Put each function's body in a try..catch and in the catch, output a message telling you which function an exception happened in, then exit.

    I looked up try and catch, and have a loose understanding of them. Could somebody do an example with one of my functions for me so I can get a firm idea.

    Code:
    try{
    
    	string s = Accounts[ x ].GetName( );
    
    }
    
    catch( ... ) {
    
    	cout<<"Error occured in Accounts[ x ].GetName( ) Line:"<<__LINE__<<endl;
    
    }
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    Thanks yous. I thought it was imperitive to have an object in the catch parameters, but it isn't.
