    Just for some spice...
    Code:
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <algorithm>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        string name("Jason");
        reverse_copy(name.begin(),name.end(),ostream_iterator<char>(cout,""));
        cout << endl;
        return 0;
    }
    Outputs:
    nosaJ

    Mileage may vary as to what additional headers you may need to include (maybe <iterator>?), these worked as is under MSVC++ 6.0.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string.h>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
        char name[] = "jason";
        int len = strlen(name) - 1;
        while ( len >= 0)
            cout << name[len--];
            
        cout << endl;
        system("PAUSE");
    }

    #include <string.h>

    should be

    #include <cstring>

    In MSVC++ 6.0 (AFAIK), it isn't fully ANSI/C++ complient.

    Well from what ive been told and from hte new c++ standards, but correct me if im wrong.

    Code:
     
    #include <string.h>
    
    should be
    
    #include <string>
    from what i have heard string is now standard

    I though CString was a mfc thing and not a part of standard c++.

    #include <string> gives access to the string class and make it possible to create a string variable and use it's methods.

    I also thought that when using #include <string.h> you get "access" to the old c-string methods, like strlen.

    To use the c-style string manipulation functions, you include <cstring>. I believe the MFC header is <cstring.h>
