Computer programmers, help me
 

40 C:\Documents and Settings\william\Desktop\ECE370\ass5\main.cpp no matching function for call to `strlen(std::string&)'

wtf is this?

I have #include <string.h>

show the previous lines ? the one using strlen() ?

"no matching function"

answers your question, no?

your calling a function that you have declared

I have this

struct stats{
string name;
int cost;
};

stats blah[2];

how can i find the length of blah[0].name ?

where are you declaring blah?

that is irrelevant. consider it in main.

whats on line 40?

just part of a conditional statement. I just need to know the function to get the length of a string.

its probably string.length or string.len (ie: length(string))

I think it's just being used incorrectly. Maybe this will help.

Thanks i found it. I saw it written online as length() and thought i used it like length(blah[0].name)

when it is actually supposed to be blah[0].name.length()

thanks for looking.
