Try using the string type. You can read about it here.

not sure i understand.... is string name the keyword i type? cause i tried that and it didn't work
Just like the examples on the page I gave you. Make sure you include the appropriate headers first.
EDIT: Argh, my mistake. It seems that page is a little outdated
Here is an example.
Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main( void ) { string name = "Hello World"; cout << name << endl; return 0; }

errrr i am so confused how do i find out what header file to use? i am using dev-C++
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int numbertheypick;
int exit;
string noun;
std::cout<<"welcome to the mad lib game! you choose your story number. the story "<<endl;
std::cout<<"has blanks in it that you have to fill in based on the type of word "<<endl;
std::cout<<"that will fit in the blank (adjective, noun etc.) and whatever you put "<<endl;
std::cout<<"in will fill in the blanks in the story, now you wont be able to read "<<endl;
std::cout<<"the story untill all the blanks are filled in."<<endl;
std::cout<<" if you dont know what an adjective or noun or whatever is just ask someone "<<endl;
std::cout<<"or look it up"<<endl;
std::cout<<" choose a story 1,2,or 3"<<endl;/* all this is is the introductory for the game*/
std::cin>> numbertheypick;//if they pick 1 2 or 3 the dif. games will be played
if (numbertheypick == 1)
std::cout<<"please enter a noun: ";
cin>> noun;
std::cout<<"the noun you entered is:"<<noun;
std::cout<<"bob was walking and suddenly beau walk out and\n";
std::cout<<"kicked him right in the "<<noun;
cout<<" press any key and hit enter to quit:";
cin>>exit;
return 0;
}
is the code i am using course its not fully done but once i fix this it should go quickly
1) Use code tags.
2) Don't use iostream.h. Use 'iostream'.
3) You need to include 'string'.
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
You. Fetch me my copy of the Wall Street Journal. You two, fight to the death - Stewie
the book i got sucks and i dont know what header file to put in so i can use the string thing
The header file you need is <string>
