You need to specify since there are two styles of strings. You still need to use a string, but you want a C-String instead of a C++-String. The difference:
1 2 3 4
// C++ String
#include <string>
std::string myString = "Hello, World!";
1 2 3
// C String
char* myString[]= "Hello, World!";
For all intensive purposes, they're the same. If you need an array of C-Strings, you can do something like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
char* myStringArray[10][10]; // Allows 10 strings with a max length of 10 chars
// Reads 10 strings from the user
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)
std::cin >> myStringArray[i];
// Displays 10 strings
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)
std::cout << myStringArray[i] << "\n";
