Error 1 error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)


what does mean ?

#include <string>

[Paul McKenzie]

In addition to the lack of #include <string>, you shouldn't call your variable by the name "list", as there already is a std::list class in C++.
