Baseball Stats program compiles with errors

[dredwerx]

Hello all, I am a noob in the process of learning C++ and so far things are going good. However I wrote a pretty simple Baseball statistics program from out of my book today and it keeps compiling with errors but I can't understand what is wrong with my code. If anyone would be willing to look at my code and give me a hint as to what I am missing it would be greatly appreciated.

 // BaseballStats.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int lowAtBats;
	int highAtBats;
	int atBats;
	BaseballPlayer onePlayer;
	cout << "Please enter the baseball players number ";
	cin >> onePlayer.playerNumber;
	cout << "Now enter the number of hits for the player #" << onePlayer.playerNumber << " ";
	cin >> onePlayer.numberOfHits;
	cout << "\nNext enter the low number of at bats for which you want statistics ";
	cin >> lowAtBats;
	while(lowAtBats < onePlayer.numberOfHits)
	{
		cout << "***Player had " << onePlayer.numberOfHits << " hits, so you must enter that number or more" << endl;
		cout << "   Please reenter the low number of at bats ";
		cin >> lowAtBats;
	}
	cout << "\nEnter the most at bats for which you want statistics ";
	cin >> highAtBats;
	while(highAtBats < lowAtBats)
	{
		cout<<"***You entered " << lowAtBats <<
			" for the low number of at bats" << endl << " so you must enter that number or more" << endl;
	cout << "   Please reenter a number for most at bats ";
	cin >> highAtBats;
	}
	cout<<"\nFor player #" << onePlayer.playerNumber << endl;
	atBats = lowAtBats;
	while(atBats <= highAtBats)
	{
		cout<< onePlayer.numberOfHits << " hits in " << atBats << 
			" at bats is an average of " <<
			(onePlayer.numberOfHits * 1.0) / atBats << endl;
		++atBats;
	}
	system("pause");
    return 0;
}

It is the compiler that looks at your code and reports errors.

As for us then we have no any idea what is BaseballPlayer

Your right Vlad, I worded that incorrectly. I corrected my post. Thanks for pointing that out.

Post your compiler errors

These are the errors I am getting:

Can you read what others write to you? Reread my previous post.

[dredwerx]

Yes I read your post, but I don't understand what you mean? You have no idea what is BaseballPlayer??

.\BaseballStats.cpp(13) : error C2065: 'BaseballPlayer' : undeclared identifier

Given this error, I'd say the compiler doesn't know either.

The problem is you haven't ever defined what a BasebballPlayer is.

[Debjit Ghosh]

Where have you created the class for BaseballPlayer? It should look like this:

class Baseballplayer{
 Baseballplayer() {};
 int playerNumber;
 int numberOfHits;
}

If you can't find where the class is defined, go ahead and add this class right above the main().

I expect you to ask if there is something here whose reason you don't understand.

Okay well, I probably just need to finish reading this chapter I am in and then I will go back and see if I can figure out what I am doing wrong. Thanks for the suggestions. I will come back here if I am still stuck later.
Peace out.
