How to cout the std::basic_string

Question

I am trying to cout a basic_string. But cout is throwing error. Can I know how to do that

Answer 1

TCHAR is a winapi define for the character type used by your application. If you have the character set as multi-byte characters, it will be char. If you have it set to Unicode, it will be wchar_t.

If it's wchar_t, you need to use std::wcout. Otherwise, just plain std::cout should be fine.

Generally it helps to also explain what errors you're getting, but most likely you're trying to insert an std::basic_string into std::cout, and there probably isn't an operator<< overload for that.
