Strings

[ElmuKelmuZ]

I am trying to make a small program, and I would like to know is it possible to make string variables in c++?

Yes it is. You must include the string header, as in #include <string> , and make a variable by declaring it as one. string Any_name = "Hello"; If you need a lot of the same, such as names of furniture, for instance, you could declare string furniture[3] = {"Sofa","Table","Lamp"}; and access each by its number. furniture[0] is the Sofa, furniture[1], the Table and Lamp is furniture[2].

Hope this helps you..

Also it is important to note unless you are using

using namespace std;
or
using std::string;

You will need to include std:: infront of your strings. Example

#include <string>

int main()
{

std::string myname; // std::string declares a varible of type string named myname

}

is the same as

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

string myname;

}
