string does not name a type?

[sydfrederick]

So I've made some classes, and during compilation, I get the error that string does not name a type on line 14.
Any help is appreciated...

#ifndef SIMPLE_LOAN_H
#define SIMPLE_LOAN_H
#include<string>
#include "loan.h"

class simple : public loan
{
	private:
		std::string type;
	
	public:
		simple();
		double monthly_payment();
		std::string get_type() {return type;}
};

#endif

{return type;}

I'm not sure what this is doing here?

I don't see anything wrong with it. The OP is simply putting the definition of the method inline in the class definition, rather than in a separate cpp file.
