使用标准库类型size_type时遇到问题。

代码如下时：
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::string;
using string::size_type;
int main()
{
    size_type i;
    string st("The expense of spirit/n");
    i = st.size();
    cout << "The size of /"" << st << "/" is " << i
         << " characters, including the newline" << endl;
    return 0;
}
编译出错：
prog1.cc:7: 错误： ‘std::string’不是一个命名空间
prog1.cc: In function ‘int main()’:
prog1.cc:10: 错误： ‘size_type’在此作用域中尚未声明
prog1.cc:10: 错误： expected `;' before ‘i’
prog1.cc:12: 错误： ‘i’在此作用域中尚未声明

改成下面这样就没问题：
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::string;
//using string::size_type;
int main()
{
    string::size_type i;
    string st("The expense of spirit/n");
    i = st.size();
    cout << "The size of /"" << st << "/" is " << i
         << " characters, including the newline" << endl;
    return 0;
}
