Do you want to use code tags and also tell us where these errors are?

Error on line 4? On line 29? Line 176? Do you want to check these line numbers? ;)

You need a semi colon after the last bracket of a class. and I don't see a closing bracket for the connect four class either. Try counting your brackets to make sure they all line up.

After changing system("clear"); to system("CLS");, the program ran great.
