i really can't figure out why i can't this working, and it always errors out on the parameter list of brceme

#include "stdlib.h"
#include "time.h"
#include "iostream.h"
#include "string.h"
#define std;

#define ITERS 5;
#define PLYRS 2;
#define CMBS 3; // rps.. or more?!

void brceme(string lala) { cout << lala << endl; }

int main () {
int i, i2;
srand ( time( NULL ) ); // init
for ( i2 = 0; i2 <= ITERS; i2++ ) {
cout << "game " << i2 << endl;
for ( i = 1; i <= PLYRS; i++ ) {
cout << i << " alalalal" << endl;
}
}
}

/*

i must be missing something simple!?!?
i've tried tons of variations on "string", lower-case/as a * pointer/
positioning of the pointer .. etc... and i see that obviously one can supply a
class type for a parameter... so i'm baffled.

Make that:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

And:

using namespace std;

And no ; after defines, i.e:

#define ITERS 5
#define PLYRS 2
#define CMBS 3 // rps.. or more?!

And every one will be happier.
