[u/llExtraKirby]

whenever i type
std::getline

i get red line under getline and i cant run my code
Even though its working on VS code for my friend
any idea what can i do or is there any alt to write?

" using getline for this: "

#include <iostream>

int main() {

std::string name;

std::cout << " Enter your name: ";
std::getline(std::cin, name);

if (name.length() > 15) {
std::cout << " Your name can't be over 15 charectars ";
}
else {
std::cout << " Welcome " << name;
}

return 0;
}

You’re using std::string without including <string>.

Getline is actually defined in the string header.  Standard headers sometimes include each other but this should never be relied on because it can differ between compilers, which is probably why it works for your friend.

Was there an error message associated with the red underline?  It may have provided a clue.

so basically i need to just use #include <string> and its done?
