learning about strings

//My first time using strings

#include <stdfax.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
string mystring = "this is a string";
cout << mystring;
return 0;

}

so im learning about strings and i want to know if it matters which order i put my file types (iostream stdfax string)
is there a specific order? or can i just put it in random

and also mystring = "This is a different string content";
cout << mystring << endl;
what does endl; mean?
what does it do

There is not really an order needed for a library unless one library needs content from the other one. (Includes)

Endl;means to give a new line.

cout << "test";
cout << "test";
would print:
testtest

cout << "test" << endl;
cout << "test":
would print:
test
test

It doesn't matter what order you put your include prepocessors in. They're programs from other locations on ur operating system that are run before the application is executed basically. Unlike functions the order they're run in won't affect the way the program runs.

endl; is pretty simple. Just makes a new line.

edit: i lose.

This isn't true. Those libraries are part of your program. They will be linked to the compiled executable statically (at compile time) or dynamically (at run time). However each library has it's own set of dependencies. If it is using a library that has not been loaded yet it will load it itself either statically or dynamically as well. Your right in the fact that the order for the most part doesn't matter though, but they are not separate programs.

Hurray for accidental learning experiences.

ohhh thank you

One more thing from me. There's one rule for header files. Put your own headers in quotation marks and put it at the end e.g.:

Code:

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