Visual studio 2015 getline

[CrypticA1]

Trying to write a parser and I keep getting stuck on this one part. I'm using visual studio 2015 and I swear either i'm stupid or visual studio is trolling me. I've included so many headers, I've tried writing it several ways
cin.getline()
getline()
std::getline(std::cin,x)

and i get the same errors

using namespace std;

main()

	string user;

	char text_array[256];

	cout << "Hi there cherished user, please enter a mathematical formula :D\n";
	getline (cin, user,);


}

Thanks for taking time to read this and any advice would be appreciated

You have an extra comma in there.

Well.

main() Should be int main()

But the main problem is, first of all, you got a random coma operator after "user".

getline (cin, user,); // what is that random coma after user doing?

It should be

getline (cin, user);

Lastly, you havent included the string header.

#include <string>

I conflated #include cstring with #include string. *facepalm What is #include <cstring> anyway?

*fixed code below

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cctype>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

	string user;

	char text_array[256];

	cout << "Hi there cherished user, please enter a mathematical formula :D\n";
	getline (cin, user);


}

Lastly, you havent included the string header.
#include <string>

Thank you for using code tags!

You have several errors, each reported by VS 2015:

1. for STL string it is #include <string> , not #include <cstring> . <cstring> is for C library functions.

2. int main(), not main()

3. getline() takes 2 parameters. you have a comma after user so VS 2015 thinks you are supplying 3 parameters.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
   std::string aString;

   std::cout << "Enter a string: ";
   std::getline(std::cin, aString);

   std::cout << aString << "\n";
}

When given multiple errors it helps if you only look at them one at a time, fixing a single error. Many times fixing a single error fixes multiple errors.

Well thanks for the help everyone. One step closer to finishing this project. :D
