Cannot compile string types

Everytime I try to give a variable a string type specification error. I am using Dev C++ Compiler. I can use a character array but not the string variable. The error message I receive is an unknown identifier. I have tried including the string.h library. I have been stomped trying to figure why it has a problem compiling. Please help me out!, thanks a lot

i'm not sure, but try including cstring instead of string.h...

You need to include the string library.

#include <string>

using namespace std;
