Setting Up the Program

First I create some initial comments, include two necessary files, and write a few

using directives.

// Lost Fortune

// A personalized adventure


#include <iostream> #include <string>

I include the file string, part of the standard library, so I can use a string object to access a string through a variable. Theres a lot more to string objects, but Im going to keep you in suspense. Youll learn more about them in Chapter 3, For Loops, Strings, and Arrays: Word Jumble.

Also, I employ using directives to spell out the objects in the std namespace that I plan to access. As a result, you can clearly see that string is in namespace std.
