Another one is to just add std:: in front of cout & string, to make it
std::cout and std::string.

Sometimes, when you add the '.h' to the include name, it is an ad hoc
standard to put everything into the global namespace. You really should
be including <iostream>, not <iostream.h>. Probably later versions don't
adhere to this unofficial standard.
