    Please post your code in [code][/code] tags, tell us exactly what is not working, what input you give it, and the output you get or the exact compiler errors you get.

    BTW, I edited my post above and gave one reason why your while loop might not work. See if that is the issue.

    You'll need to include <string> and have using namespace std or using std::string either directly or indirectly (in a header file). If it compiles then you've already done this.

    Code:
    main
                 {
                    //code
    Isn't an int needed in front of main?

    It is supposed to be there according to the standard, but some compilers will allow code without it. Regardless, there isn't really a good reason not to put it in.
