Error, can't run

[C++Raven]

I got this code sent to me, and am working with a friend to see what the problem is. We can't seem to run it at all the even try to find the problems with its errors.

It just says the system cannot find the file specified. I was told to change something towards the beginning of the code to make it run at least, but still can't figure it out.

This is the code

/*
Mississippi has 11 characters
First occurance of word "is" is at position: 1
The first four characters are:          Miss
The next two characters are:            is
Charters start at position 9 are:       pi
*/

#include  <iostream>
  #include <conio.h>

    using  namespace  std;

    int  main (  )
    {
    string  stateName = "Mississippi" ;

    cout  << stateName << " has " << length( ) << " characters\n";  

    cout  << "First occurance of word \"is\" is at position: " << find("is") <<  endl;

    cout << "The first four characters are:\t\t" << substr( 0, 4 ) <<  endl;

    cout << "The next two characters are:\t\t" << substr( 4, 2 ) <<  endl;

    cout << "Charters start at position 9 are:\t" << substr( 9, 5 ) <<  endl;

    _getch();
	return 0 ;
}

Did you try to compile it? I got lots of errors. You need to #include <string> then define the undefined functions.

We can't seem to run it at all the even try to find the problems with its errors.

In such case you typically have some diagnostics from compiler. And I believe, this exercise is intended to give you some idea of solving this sort of issues.

any direction, or help would be great.

I am at a loss with this one.

Are you blind?
Or you just ignore the replies on your OP?

Both GCDEF and Igor Vartanov wrote that you have to compile your code, get the compiler error messages and then try to fix the errors.
What part of the task have you already done?

when I try to I get the error that says "system cannot find the file specified"

I am trying to get it to compile first, so then I can start working out the other errors with it.

But without being able to compile it I can't figure them out.

What line of your code produces this error?

Include WinSDK in the VC++ directories if you have it installed

Oh my god I finally realized what the problem is. . i had typed this code in another format, when I had thought that I was in .cpp this entire time.

Sorry guys, what a stupid mistake, had me scratching my head not knowing what was going on.

Thank You all for your input
