add using std::string after the include files

Move the code gards (lines 4 and 5) up before the include files.

Hi,

I see you typo it should rather read

typedef int HashElement

You misspelled typedef. Also as Ancient Dragon says include using std::string;

A piece of advice, in all your c++ programs always put without fail using namespace std; to read something like

#include <abcde>
#include <efghij>

using namespace std;

That should work

Thank you so much... simple mistake..
