And, indeed, they are not. All those identifiers are inside std
namespace, like all other C++ Standard Library names, so just prepend
them with std::

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {

  std::string s1( "string1" );

  std::cout << s1 << std::endl;

  return 1;
}

If you don't want to type lots of std::'s, you can use this too,
although is considered a bad practice by lots of gurus:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {

  string s1( "string1" );

  cout << s1 << endl;

  return 1;
}
