Why doesn't Eclipse highlight the string data type?

Question

Eclipse

Can you please tell a beginner why Eclipse does not highlight the string or vector data type in my case, as it does, for example, with the int type?

Answer 1

Probably because both vector and string are not built-in data types.

Answer 2

this is a container, why shine it? That's what happens when you start eclipse, all sorts of VSStudio and so on, instead of thoughtful and painstaking language learning with a compiler and a simple text editor in hand. Everyone wants to "from rags to riches" at once, but "a stone flower does not come out ..." like in a fairy tale (no offense only - nothing personal).
PS In general, eclipse has big brakes and delays. Keep in mind. Suddenly tomorrow morning it will highlight the string ... and we will all be ashamed here )))

Answer 3

Main reason: int is a C++ keyword, but string is not.
The programming system can highlight standard STL containers in a different color. For example, here is a screenshot of Code::Blocks.
See, the char keyword is blue, and the standard STL object std::string is green.
(Yes, experts, I see that on the screen is the result of not very successful refactoring. For a specialized utility of six hundred lines, I think it will work.)
