I want to pass a string array to the function like this int function (string text[]) . But the IntelliSense says that identifier string is undefined . Why can't I pass a string array like usually I do with int arrays ?

1_IntelliSense_ is not a definitive say on whether your code works or not, what happens if you compile it? – K-ballo Jun 19 '13 at 18:48

Do you have `#include
` and `using std::string`? – Mankarse Jun 19 '13 at 18:48 -
Because `int` is a built-in datatype while `string` is a datatype created using built-in types and exposed via the standard library. – legends2k Jun 19 '13 at 19:05

Are you using std::string or just string? Try adding using std::string if you don't have it in your code.

@Sam379 Don't do `using namespace std`, see why [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452721/why-is-using-namespace-std-considered-bad-practice). – syb0rg Jun 19 '13 at 18:51
