Why I cannot cout a string?
Why I cannot cout string like this: string text ; text = WordList[i].substr(0,20) ; cout << "String is : " << text << endl ; When I do this, I get the following error: Error 2 error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion) c:\users\mollasadra\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\barnamec\barnamec\barnamec.cpp 67 barnamec** It is amazing, that even this is not working: string text ; text = "hello" ; cout << "String is : " << text << endl ; You need to include #include <string> #include <iostream> You
