The cstring header provides functions for dealing with C-style strings — null-terminated arrays of characters. This includes functions like strlen and strcpy. It’s the C++ version of the classic string.h header from C.
The string header provides the std::string class and related functions and operators.
The headers have similar names, but they’re not really related beyond that. They cover separate tasks.
