hw.cpp(16) : Error: undefined identifier 'string'

It seems to do iostream stuff poorly.

This has been my "go to" compiler for plain C code.  But this 
sucks.

Hi Paul,

I sense a couple confusions here, are you trying to make C or C++ 
code? They not really are the same thing even if really close.
C have the <string.h> header, but there is no string type in C, 
the standard way of handling string in C is to use array of bytes 
as in

char *str = “Hello World”;


C++ on the other hand does not normally use the string.h file, 
and works either with the same type of array as for C, but also 
have its own string type which is std::string which is define in 
<string> (with no .h)

More information about the C++ class:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/

I don’t know if DMC++ provide that header file, I’m not sure from 
which version of the C++ it come from.

(And there is no class in C)

Hope that will help.
