difference between string and string.h

from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9257665/difference-between-string-and-string-h

• string.h contains old functions like strcpy, strlen.
• string primarily contains the std::string class.

It should also be noted that using string.h is deprecated within C++. If you need the functionality contained within, you should use the header cstring.

<cstring> will usually import the same things as <string.h> but into the std namespace. 

<string.h> will usually import everything into the global namespace.
