    <string> is a C++ standard library include, and <string.h> is C standard library include.

    The equivalent of <string.h> in C++ is <cstring>, although both will work.

    The difference is: <cstring> wraps everything in the std namespace whereas <string.h> puts everything in the global namespace.

    Also, expect some stricter type safety rules from <cstring>.
