string inserting error c++

Question

WordChosenDuplicate.insert(0,WordChosen.length," _ ");
    cout <<WordChosenDuplicate<< endl;

I get the following error when I try to run this code

error C3867: 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::length': function call missing argument list; use '&std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::length' to create a pointer to member c:\documents and settings\main\my documents\uni\2nd year\tp2\hangman\hangman\hangman.cpp 119

Answer 1

It's a function: std::string::length()

Please read the Manuals available on the net and the answers posted to your previous questions.

Answer 2

You need to use WordChosen.length (). Add the parenthesis, this is a method call.

Answer 3

for (int f = 0; f <= WordChosen.length()-1;f++)
    {

      WordChosenDuplicate.insert(0,(WordChosen.length(),"_ "));

    }

    cout <<WordChosenDuplicate<< endl;

Thanks guys got the answer.
