const string declaration

L E G I O N (99)
im working on a poker game and im trying to declare and initialize strings to represent card faces/suits

and im getting some very strange erros such as... fatal error cannot recover from previous error(s) stopping compilation

anyways this is the code please let me know what im doing wrong

i've already deleted my debug folder in order to re compile it and im still getting this error when i uncomment it out

const string FACE[13] = ["A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};
	const string SUIT [4] = {"S","C","D","H"};


i've actually got the previous error to go away it just gives me syntax errors for the [] braces

Error 2 error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding '{'; skipping apparent function body c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\poker heroz\poker heroz\deck.h 10


Error 1 error C2059: syntax error : '{' c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\poker heroz\poker heroz\deck.h 10


does it need to be declared b4 its initialized??
im kinda confused... lol

Maybe it's the whitespace between SUIT and [4].

i might just change the const string suit/face to enums because its giving me too many problems and i dont have time to mess with it
jsmith (5804)
string should be std::string
L E G I O N (99)
yeah but i put using namespace std; so it should work fine shouldnt it?
