Hi I'm curious as to how you would display an std::string using cout, this bit of code gives me an error "<< no operator found which takes a righthand operand type "std::string""
I'm a noob to std:: string so maybe I'm doing this wrong...Code:class TextEngine { void Respond() { std::cout << Response << std::endl; } std::string Response; };
Sometimes I forget what I am doing when I enter a room, actually, quite often.
If this compiles and runs, you have a different problem. Make sure you're including iostream and possibly the string header string.Code:#include <iostream> int main() { std::string str("Hello, world!"); std::cout << str << std::endl; return 0; }
Thats the whole thing, and it doesn't work.... I wonder...Code:#include <string.h> #include <iostream> class TextEngine { void Respond() { std::cout << Response << std::endl; } std::string Response; };

Don't include string.h. The .h extension is from older days. Just do this:
Code:#include <string>
All of the class members are private, so calling Respond() outside of other class member functions is impossible. Might I add that MacGuyver has the simplest idea with the least boilerplate code.
I forgot about string and string.h
Ooops! :d

Some compilers allow you to use string by only including <iostream>. Others let you use parts of string but not the overload operators (which probably happened here). The safest and most correct thing of course is to just always #include <string> when you use the string class.

To be technical, <string.h> is from C, and is standard but deprecated in C++. The preferred version of <string.h> in C++ is <cstring>. However, these two headers are unrelated to <string>. Most programs will use one or the other, but it is possible you would need both since they contain different things.
