Why am I getting string does not name a type Error?

Question

game.cpp

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include \"game.h\"
#include \"         


        

Answer 1

string does not name a type. The class in the string header is called std::string.

Please do not put using namespace std in a header file, it pollutes the global namespace for all users of that header. See also "Why is 'using namespace std;' considered a bad practice in C++?"

Your class should look like this:

#include 

class Game
{
    private:
        std::string white;
        std::string black;
        std::string title;
    public:
        Game(std::istream&, std::ostream&);
        void display(colour, short);
};
