how to solve this 2 errors ?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void input_data(struct database*data_ptr);

int main()
{
struct database employee;

The 2 errors are :
C:\Users\Omar\Desktop\Cpp1.cpp(24) : error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >' (or there is no acceptable convers

You are using the deprecated header iostream.h. Try changing it to
#include <iostream>
I think that will make your program work.
Hope this helps.
By the way, when you post code, please surround it with code tags. Put [CODE] before it and [/CODE] after it so it shows up in a code box with a monospace font and the indentation isn't wrecked. Thanks.

boxfish thnx alot for ur help and ill take it into consideration next time :)

Please look at this

...........................................................
void input_data(struct database*data_ptr)
{
int i_tmp;
float f_tmp;
string s_tmp;
cout<<"enter name:";
cin >>s_tmp;data_ptr->name = s_tmp;
cout << "enter id_number :";
cin >> i_tmp;data_ptr->id_number = i_tmp;
cout << "enter age :";
cin >> i_tmp;data_ptr->age = i_tmp;
cout << "enter salary:";
cin >> f_tmp;data_ptr->salary = f_tmp;;
cout<<endl;
}
 

Well, the first error as the above forumer stated; change your iostream.h to iostream.
but the compiler produced two different errors.

//cout<<"enter name:";       <=== this is wrong
cout << "enter name:";     // <=== this is right
...................
//cout<<endl; <=== this is wrong
cout << endl;       // this is right
 

So the problem is you left no space between cout and <<

The whitespace in a C++ code is (mostly) irrelevant and (mostly) serves to make the code more readily parsed by humans rather than the compiler. For instance, GCC readily compiles the following (admittedly mangled) code:

#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    unsigned
    short
    xyzzy
     = 0;
 
    cout
        <<
 "Line 1..."
 
<<
 
        endl<<
 
    "Line 2..."             <<
endl
                 <<"Line 3..."<<endl
<<"Input Integer value: ";
 
cin
              >>
                          xyzzy;
 
cout<<"    Input: " << xyzzy << endl;
 
    return 0;
}
 

Producing the (rather straightforward) output:

Line 1...
Line 2...
Line 3...
Input Integer value: 4
    Input: 4
 

I do believe that the OP's error was simply the inclusion of an outdated library rather than minor spacing issues.
