Noob: What is the error in this code?

[noemailplease0001]

#ifndef POSITION_H_
#define POSITION_H_

class Position
{
public:
Position(std::string name, std::string name):
m_name( name), m_description(description){}
std::string toString();
private:
std::string m_name;
std::string m_description;

};

#endif /* POSITION_H_ */

I get an error 'error: expected `;' before "m_description"' I don't
understand that.

#ifndef POSITION_H_
#define POSITION_H_

class Position
{
public:
Position(std::string name, std::string name):

You cannot have two parameters with the same name. And std::string is
undefined here.

m_name( name), m_description(description){}
std::string toString();
private:
std::string m_name;
std::string m_description;

};

#endif /* POSITION_H_ */

I get an error 'error: expected `;' before "m_description"' I don't
understand that.

Where did you get that error?

#ifndef POSITION_H_
#define POSITION_H_

You don't have any include files, and as such, "std::string" is not
defined.

Here is the list of standard C++ headers
