How to convert this code to use string
I have a function like this:
char *foo()
{
}
How can I make it return a string instead? I tried
string foo()
{
}
but the compiler complains.

A:
Did you do this:
#include <string>
using std::string;
And additionnally, do you use gcc or g++? Even if gcc now can compile C++ code, it is advised to use g++.

I forgot the using std::string. That was the problem.

The only thing you did forget is to type "std::" in front of standard library classes/functions. Don't take the habit of "using std::string;" or "using namespace" everywhere. ( especially inside .h header files )

A:
Try std::string. Standard features are in the std:: namespace.
std::string foo()
{
}
Be careful with "using" directives, especially in header files. Better take the habit to use std::
