It's a prefix required to qualify the standard names, which are pretty
much all declared/defined in the 'std' namespace. Learn about C++
namespaces and you'll know what 'std::' is.

Get a better compiler.

std is the namespace where the standard library resides. Your compiler
is pretty old (you know you can get newer ones for free, right? Google
for it.) and doesn't likely support namespaces.

std is the standard namespace.

I have no idea whether that completely answers your question. Please keep in
mind that this is an international news group. A native speaker of English
may have a shot at understanding his language spelled with radical
abbreviations. A non-native speaker is facing a much harder challenge.
Please use the spelling that all of us at some point learned at school. It
helps tremendously.

I downloaded bulider C++ (free version) fron the borland site. But im
unable to use it.
I have managed to install the downloaded .exe file but how do i get to

Installing and running the Command Line Tools
-----------------------------------------------

1. Run freecommandlinetools.exe; choose the
drive and folder into which you want to
install the free C++Builder 5 command line
tool development system.

2. From the bin directory of your installation:
a. Add "c:\Borland\Bcc55"
to the existing path
b. Create a bcc32.cfg file which will set
the compiler options for the Include
and Lib paths (-I and -L switches to
compiler) by adding these lines:
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
c. Create an ilink32.cfg file which will set
the linker option for the Lib path by
adding this line:
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

This is off-topic here
(http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit....html#faq-5.9).
Please ask in a newsgroup or forum for that product or for your
platform.

The most common way to control compiler commandline tools is
a tool called "make".

You set up a file named "makefile" which contains instructions how
to build your application. Then you call make by typing "make" in a
commandline-shell.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/man...ode/index.html

If you really want to use commandline-tools it's nice to have
Microsoft Powertoys. The tool "commandline here" lets you open
a shell via right mouseclick on any folder.

I also get a message like that if I forgot to include the right header
file:
// File 1
#include <vector>
using std::vector; // Okay

// File 2
using std::vector; // Gives me an error message like what you're
reporting.

Let's see...

We recommend that you read this file in its entirety.

I think that's pretty clear. Have you RTFM?

In any case, as already mentioned, here we deal with pure
language-related questions only. If you have compiler problems try one
of the borland groups.

Regards,
Bart.

What about "std" representing "standard"? The irony ...
