Hi, I need some help figuring out what's wrong with my code. I'm getting quite a few of syntax errors for missing ';' which I have and missing type identifier. This errors are happening on my intarray.h file for string declaration (line 34). I get more errors that still need to be fixed, which I want to solve them one at a time, but if anyone has some advice on those, they're welcome

This are my files:

I looked at your header file and you need to add std:: to string so that it reads

std::string

Remember your not using namespace std here because its a header file.

I agree with gerard, the std:: is missing for all uses of string and istream or ostream in the header file. Also, the #include <string.h> should be #include <string> because the former is a C library without std::string.

**try to _only_ post the _relevant_ code**

Thanks, i added the std to the string and i/ostream calls and it took all the syntax and missing type errors. Now I'm getting the linker errors 2019 and 1120. I came across on my last homework and fixed them by changing some settings on the linker. It had to do with being working with a windows application settings instead of with console settings.
