g++ saying function doesn't exist even when including the proper header - c++

Question

So I am working on some homework for my uni and need to convert a string to a float. For whatever reason g++ is complaining that the 'stof' function doesn't exist. Although I have included the required header. Here is my code, the error is on the line that says
holder = stof(x.substr(0, end_of_num));
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <list>
using namespace std;
float process_func(string x);
bool isPartOfNum(char x);
int main() {
string x;
while (true) {
cout << "input a string" << endl;
getline(cin, x);
cout << process_func(x);
}
return 0;
}
float process_func(string x) {
int end_of_num =0;// used to find last index from num
int negMult = 1; //used to multiply value at end if there was a negative
bool onNum = false; //used to
list <float> numList;
list <char> operList;
if ((x.at(0) < 48 || x.at(0) > 57) && x.at(0) != '-') //check if start of string doesnt have a number or negative symbol
return -1;
if (x.at(0) != '-')
negMult = -1;
float holder;// temp holder for floats
int i = 0;
while (i<x.length()) {
if (isPartOfNum(x.at(i))) {
end_of_num++;
onNum = true;
}
else if (onNum) {
holder = stof(x.substr(0, end_of_num));
numList.push_back(holder); //adds num as float to list
x.erase(0, end_of_num + 1); //+1 removes the space after the number before the operator
end_of_num = 0;
onNum = false;
}
if (x.at(i) == '+' || x.at(i) == '-' || x.at(i) == '*' || x.at(i) == '/') {
operList.push_back(x.at(i));
}
} //at this point both lists should be full of all needed pieces of info
int answer = 0;
int temp;
bool firstOper=true; // used to hold first operation
while (numList.size() >=2) { //requires at least 2 entries for last operation
while (!operList.empty()) {
temp = numList.front();
numList.pop_front();
if (operList.front() == '+') {
if (firstOper) {
answer = temp + numList.front();
numList.pop_front();
firstOper = false;
}
else {
answer += temp;
}
}
else if (operList.front() == '-') {
if (firstOper) {
answer = temp - numList.front();
numList.pop_front();
firstOper = false;
}
else {
answer -= temp;
}
}
else if (operList.front() == '*') {
if (firstOper) {
answer = temp * numList.front();
numList.pop_front();
firstOper = false;
}
else {
answer *= temp;
}
}
else if (operList.front() == '/') {
if (firstOper) {
answer = temp / numList.front();
numList.pop_front();
firstOper = false;
}
else {
answer /= temp;
}
}
operList.pop_front();
}
}
return answer;
}
bool isPartOfNum(char x) {
if ((x >= 48 && x <= 57) || (x == '-' || x == '.'))
return true;
return false;
}
