my source code is:

#include <iostream> #include <string> #include "products.h" using namespace std; static int products::count;//declaring static variable int main() {     products *p_products,temp;     *p_products=temp.read();     //temp.write();     system("pause");     delete[] product;     return 0; } 

but getting error can not remove:

error c2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'name_'

please me out!thanks

you should include string header file in first file. looks it's complaining doesn't know string is.

you need add

#include <string> 

and change type of name_ to

std::string name_;
