function should have a prototype

[sicba2222]

Hi all,

I am new to C++...I tried to compile the following program...

#include<iostre am.h>
#include<conio. h>
#include<string >
#include<stdio. h>

int main() {
String mystr;
cout << "What is your name?";
getline(cin,mys tr);
cout << "my name is:" << mystr;
cout << "What is your favourite team?";
getline(cin, mystr);
cout << "My favourite team is " << mystr;
getch();
return 0;
}

but i am getting the error 'function getline should have a prototype'...I am getting other errors as well apart from this ...but i think if i can add the relevant "#include.. ." i can fix this error..can anyone please tell me what is it for 'getline' function...thnk in advnce...

U can use the following code and execute . U would not get any error while compiling and executing the code. So proceed:-

#include<iostre am.h>
#include<conio. h>
#include<stdio. h>

int main()
{
clrscr();
char mystr[50];
cout<< "What is your name?\n";
gets(mystr);
cout<<"my name is:"<<mystr<<"\ n";
cout<<"What is your favourite team?\n";
gets(mystr);
cout<<"My favourite team is"<<mystr<<"\n ";
getch();
return 0;
}
