How do i use a string? 
 
I did #include &lt;string.h&gt; 
 
but when i do 
 
string x = &quot;hello world&quot;; 
cout&lt;&lt;x; 
 
it's an error.. said &quot;string&quot; is an undeclared identifier.. 
 
I'm just really new to programming and don't even know how to use a string. 
 
I'm trying to get the user to enter a number of words and then use if-then form to create a game for my final project. 
 
thx

New to C++.  Need to know how to use a string.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
