string variables? string constants?

how do I declare a string as for example, ABC=abcdefgh... would I put const ABC=blahblah? Help me please!!!

Well i'm not certain that this is what you want so I'll cover all the bases.

Code:

---

#include <string>
using std::string

const string ABC="blahblahblah";
string EFG="abcdefghijk...";

---

ABC is constant is not supposed to be changed (type casting can take away the string's constant status) and EFG can be freely altered.

thank you very much. i will try it out and see if it works.
