Dear All,
I saw some people using
#include <string.h>
some people using
#include <cstring>
What is the difference between the two? I can find the file string.h at
/usr/include. I don't know if cstring is a file and if so, where to find it.
It seems that there are also other similar things, like:
#include <math.h>
#include <cmath> (?? I am not really sure.)
Thank you very much.

<string.h> is C; <cstring> is C++.
I *think* both forms are legal in C++, but I don't know the details;
try comp.lang.c++ (but check their FAQ first).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

This is the standard C header.
some people using
#include <cstring>
This is a C++ header and has no defined meaning in C.
What is the difference between the two?
See above.

Then, they were probably writing programs in the C programming language
some people using
#include <cstring>
And, these people were probably writing programs in the C++ programming language.
What is the difference between the two?
One (string.h) is an include file for C, and is on-topic in comp.lang.c
The other (cstring) presumably is an analogous file for C++, and is off-topic in
comp.lang.c

Yes, <xxx.h> is the C header (which also works for C++, though), and
<cxxx> is the corresponding C++ header file; the difference between
those both is that all the definitions of <cxxx> are in the C++
namespace std (like the STL), whereas <xxx.h> defines no namespace at all.

<OT>
<string.h> is standard but deprecated in C++.

Please stay on topic; if you give off-topic information, there
may be no one to correct potential errors. In this case, you omitted
that <xxx.h> is deprecated since the 1998 C++ standard -- this may be
helpful for the OP when deciding which variant to use in C++.
Rather direct off-topic requests to the appropriate newsgroup.
Cheers
Michael
