C++ std::getline error
c++, getline
Solution
The errors are not from `std::getline`. The error is you need to use `std::string` unless you use the `using namespace std`. Also would need `std::endl`.
Problem
I'm new to C++, could someone please explain to me why I received the below errors when I do use "std::getline"? Here's the code: ``` #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { string name; //receive an error here std::cout << "Enter your entire name (first and last)." << endl; std::getline(std::cin, name); std::cout << "Your full name is " << name << endl; return 0; } ERRORS: te.cc: In function `int main()': te.cc:7: error: `string' was not declared in this scope te.cc:7: error: expected `;' before "name" te.cc:11: error: `endl' was not declared in this scope te.cc:12: error: `name' was not declared in this scope ``` However, the program would run and compile when I used "getline" with "using namespace std;" instead of std::getline. ``` #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string name; cout << "Enter your entire name (first and last)." << endl; getline(cin, name); cout << "Your full name is " << name << endl; return 0; } ``` Thank you!
