It's a single compiler - but it can be configured to treat your source as either C or C++

By default:

• Source files named .c will be compiled as C;
• Source files named .cpp will be compiled as C++

Or you can use one of the options described in the link I gave to set it explicitly:

I changed it to c++ but I keep getting the exact same error, any idea what else could cause the issue?

"string.h" is a C include file.  It gives you the standard C "string" (array of NULL terminated chars) functions. It has no type or class called string.

<string> will give you the C++ string stuff.
