In ANSI C++, <string> and <string.h> are two completely different files.
string.h is all the old string manipulations from C, while string is the
C++ class string, which is defined in the namespace std. So, if you want
to use the string class, you need to inlude the header file that contains
it (<string>) and then access the namespace.
