CRAZY STRING OUTPUT

[phztfte1]

Write your question here.
Why does my output look something like this?
Hello, □nK

  // hello.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include <stdio.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
using namespace std;



int main(void)
{
	string name = "David";
	printf("Hello, %s\n", name);
}

printf() cannot output std::strings. It's a function inherited from C, and C has no knowledge of C++ data types.

Thank you very much. I changed the printf statement to:

cout << "Hello, " << name << "\n";

It works.
