To use strings, you must include an additional header file in the source code, the <string> library:
The string type is used to store a sequence of characters (text).
String Types
The string type is used to store a sequence of characters (text). This is not a built-in type, but it behaves like one in its most basic usage. String values must be surrounded by double quotes:
