PigLatin Program

shogun525 (4)
Hi, I'm currently learning C++ and I have this PigLatin program to write, and while everything compiles and there are no errors.. I can't seem to get the string I am passing in to print out in its PigLatin translation. This is my very first post so excuse me if I do not post the code correctly.

You can do so:

int main()
{
	PigLatinH translate;
	cout << "Pig Latin form of the Preamble of the Constitution: " << endl << // Note << instead of ;

	translate.PigLatinString(preamble);

	system("Pause");
	return 0;
}

Hi coder777.. thank you for your reply I tried what
you've suggested and I get an error the error is:
Error 1 error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
I underlined the operator that caused the error.
