Thread: Using 'if' with char arrays or string objects

Not <string.h> for the string class, just <string>. No standard C++ headers end in .h.

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\hangman\hangman.h(4) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'word'
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\hangman\hangman.h(4) : error C2501: 'string' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\hangman\hangman.h(4) : error C2501: 'word' : missing storage-class or type specifiers


You have a missing ; and then something about "missing storage-class" (sorry, don't know about this one).

The rest of the errors just occur because of the first ones. Fix the first error, and the other 100 will also disappear (magic ).

Why is the struct extern? You are not linking the header file, you include it in your main program.

Thx everyone. I don't know if any of that will fix the problem yet, but I'm gonna try it out.

As for the 'extern', I was having linking errors b4 and someone told me to use that. If I should take it out what would i do to fix the linking errors?

These are the errors i get when i take out the 'extern' and all that stuff:

Code:

--------------------Configuration: Hangman - Win32 Debug--------------------

Hangman.cpp
Main.cpp

Main.obj : error LNK2005: "struct hangman  hang" (?hang@@3Uhangman@@A) already defined in Hangman.obj

Error executing link.exe.

Hangman.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Check out all my source code on the first page if u need any more info and once again thx a lot 4 your help even though it's all 4 a hangman game... it's a learning experience i guess you could say

It turns out to be a big problem ....
Please tell us about the resulte....

LQQK, Please I want you to check if you realy have string.h in your lib files.... : COULD YOU PLEASE TRY TO WRITE ANOTHER SMALL PROGRAM .. AND INCLUDE STRINGS.H AND TRY TO COMPILE IT ... FOR EXAMPLE:

Code:

# include<iostream>;
#include<strings.h>;

int main()
{
string str1= " this is a string";
cout<< str1<<endl;
cout<< "let me know what happend.?"

return 0;
}

If you got the same problem, that means that you have problem with your ver. of C++...

s***....

From this code

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
string str1= " this is a string";
cout<< str1<<endl;
cout<< "let me know what happend.?"

return 0;
}

I get these errors

Code:

wtf is wrong?

btw i don't know if i mentioned it but i have visual c++ 6.0

I will try to test it right now and I will tell you what is going onnnnnnnnnnnn


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Try this now...

Code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<string>

int main()
{
string str1= " this is a string";
cout<< str1<<endl;
cout<< "let me know what happend.?";

return 0;
}

I hope you got something out of it.

nope... same thing.

The strings used to work, so how come they don't work anymore?

Does it work or it doesn;t


I could'nt understand...
if not please post your error message...

it doesn't work

it gives me pretty much the same errors as b4.

it has no idea what a string is for some reason.

how can i fix this problem?
