stoul how does it work??

[clangnoob]

how exactly does stoul work.

  unsigned long x;
  x = std::stoul(result);

but i get the error

a3_p1.cpp:57: error: âstoulâ is not a member of âstdâ

what am i missing?

a) Do you have C++11 compliant compiler? Does it set to C++11 mode?
b) Did you #include <string> ?

[clangnoob]

I am a noob at this, so not exactly sure what you are asking in a), but yea i do have #include<string>

[clangnoob]

if i remove the std before the stoul like :
x = stoul(result);
then i get the error
a3_p1.cpp:57: error: âstoulâ was not declared in this scope

What IDE do you use? MSVS? If so, what version.

I am actually using Putty to connect to my uni linux server, and i am using g++ as my compiler.

Ok, try to compile with -std=c++0x parameter

Or -std=c++11, depending on the version of g++.
