				@silverstar Yes, I could use "bits/stdc++" header but my code doesn't require that lot of standard libraries which could also make my code slow.

				 olback106468yYour compiler doesn't complain if you include files that don't exist? gcc would certainly complain. olback106468yYour compiler doesn't complain if you include files that don't exist? gcc would certainly complain.

				 TheKatze1238yThe compiler doesn't complain because "string.h" has utilary functions for strings while "string" is the actual string include file. TheKatze1238yThe compiler doesn't complain because "string.h" has utilary functions for strings while "string" is the actual string include file.
 I had to learn it the hard way too. 😅

				 TheKatze1238yOh, after some proper research I just found out that "string.h" is the old C-Include and "string" is the new C++ one. 🤔 TheKatze1238yOh, after some proper research I just found out that "string.h" is the old C-Include and "string" is the new C++ one. 🤔

 Just press F12 in your Chrome and you can code in Java like:
 name = prompt("Enter your name:")
 alert("Hello" + name)
 
 Easy code, no need for complicated IO hacks. Very efficient. No time wasted on slow compilations. Instead of "-Wall -ansi -pedantic" you can 'use strict'. Easy cross platform native code!
 
 Just kidding.

				No offence but you seem like a person who mixes c and c++. iostream shouldn't require .h
 
 Or maybe you're just using an old compiler

An hour of finding an error didn't get any.
Cousin asked, "Why does iostream and conio have a ".h" but STRING DOESN'T?"
