how to print a string to console in c++

Im trying to print a string to console in c++ console application.

void Divisibility::print(int number, bool divisible)
{ if(divisible == true) { cout << number << " is divisible by" << divisibleBy << endl; } else { cout << divisiblyBy << endl; }
}

i have the correct includes etc, this error i believe is just that i simply dont know how to print to console in c++ yet and this i guess isnt the way to do it

EDIT: sorry forgot to mention divisiblyBy is the string

yes it's possible to print a string to the console.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{ string strMytestString("hello world"); cout << strMytestString; return 0;
}

stdafx.h isn't pertinent to the solution, everything else is.

All you have to do is add:

#include <string>
using namespace std;

at the top. (BTW I know this was posted in 2013 but I just wanted to answer)

"Visual Studio does not support std::cout as debug tool for non-console applications"
- from Marius Amado-Alves' answer to "How can I see cout output in a non-console application?"

Which means if you use it, Visual Studio shows nothing in the "output" window (in my case VS2008)

you need to include the needed headers first which are:

1- #include<iostream>, so that you can read and write. 2- #include<string>, so that you can use (string) class. 3- using namespace stdor you can just write

std::cout
