No, a standard throat culture, done with typical medium as for strep throat, will not be able to show an STD. The typical STDs that may affect the throat -- gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes -- will not grow on this medium. In fact, gonorrhea and chlamydia are so difficult to culture and transport to the lab that cultures are rarely done anymore in typical health centers. It's easier to use more modern DNA testing.

If you believe you need screening for STDs in the throat, you must ask for the test specifically, so that your health care provider can choose the right medium.

How do you write a program that allows the user to enter any number of strings that will then be encoded decoded and then displayed to the console?

#include<iostream> #include<string> #include<vector> std::string encode (const std::string&); std::string decode (const std::string&); int main () { std::vector<string> strings; std::cout<<"Enter as many strings as you like (end with an empty string)\n"; while (true) { std::string input; std::cout<<"Enter a string: "; std::getline (std::cin, input); if (input.empty()) break; strings.push_back (encode (input)); } std::cout<<"You entered the following strings:\n"; for (auto s : strings) std::cout<<decode (s)<<std::endl; } Note that it is not possible to show the implementation details of the encode and decode functions since it is not clear from the question what the purpose of these functions is.

What is the C plus plus directive that allows you to refer to classes in a namespace like STD?

A quick and simple way to do this would be to add 'std::' directly in front of the data type that requires it. For example: a vector data type, without the line of code 'using namespace std' would look like this: 'std::vector' (without the inverted commas).
