There are a few problems with your code. First you have the wrong include, then you have type compatibility issues string to char * . The code below will give you the expected result: #include <iostream> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main(){ string c; int x; cout << "insert phrase\n"; cin >> c; x = strlen(c.c_str()); cout << x; } Or. Using gets, but the code playground doesn't seem to like this. #include <iostream> #include <cstring> #include <cstdio> using namespace std; int main(){ char * c; int x; cout << "insert phrase\n"; gets(c); x = strlen(c); cout << x; } Or better yet using string the right way #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ string c; int x; cout << "insert phrase\n"; cin >> c; x = c.length(); cout << x; }

No need to use strlen unless it's a char/wchar pointer. Just use the length member function. MyString.length();

#include <iostream> #include <string.h> using namespace std; int main(){ string c; int x; cout << "insert phrase\n"; gets(c); x = strlen(c); cout << x; }

@ aklex lol I was gonna post that as well in my previous post, but I got an important phone call and had to cut my post short. @matteo Also the playground doesn't seem to like the gets() function for input, even with the correct header. This is why I used cin >> c.
