Printing string array elements c++

Question

Trying to print an element from my array of strings. Marked comment where error is.

Getting the errors:

IntelliSense: no operator "<<" matches these operands operand types are: 
std::ostream << const std::string

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand
of type 'const std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int day = 5, year = 2015;


    const string months[13] = { 0, "January", "February", "March", "April", 
                               "May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
                              "October", "November", "December" };

    cout << months[5] << " " << day << ", " << year << endl;  //the first << is the issue
}

You didn't #include <string>, you were lucky enough that some parts of <string> were found in <iostream> so you could declare months.

Ok, thanks. Another problem occurs after I added string. I get debug assertion failed and have to abort. Any idea why this happens?
