Simple C++ program not compiling using wstrings and cout - c++

Question

I´m building this simple C++ program using Visual Studio 2012:
#include <stdafx.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::wcout << "Hello World...";
std::string input_data;
std::string output_data("Hello. Please type your name");
std::wcout << output_data;
std::wcin >> input_data;
std::wcout << "Your name is " << input_data;
return 0;
}
I can´t compile. Getting the followig errors:
error C2678: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'std::wistream' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
IntelliSense: no operator "<<" matches these operands
operand types are: std::basic_ostream<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>> << std::string
IntelliSense: no operator "<<" matches these operands
operand types are: std::wostream << std::string
IntelliSense: no operator ">>" matches these operands
operand types are: std::wistream >> std::string
Can someone help me to fix that ?

Answer 1

You should try changing all std::string ocurrences for std::wstring... or all wcin/wcout for cin/cout... (in the first case, prefix the strings like L"aaa" This, for instance, works perfectly:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::wcout << L"Hello World...";
std::wstring input_data;
std::wstring output_data(L"Hello. Please type your name");
std::wcout << output_data;
std::wcin >> input_data;
std::wcout << L"Your name is " << input_data;
return 0;
}

Alternatively, you could switch everything to narrow strings:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World...";
std::string input_data;
std::string output_data("Hello. Please type your name");
std::cout << output_data;
std::cin >> input_data;
std::cout << "Your name is " << input_data;
return 0;
}
