C++ errors,dont know how to fix

[sharkcoder]

Trying to convert Java to C++ ,I dont know how to do so ,here is the question

Design a class named pet, which should have the following fields:

* name. The name field holds the name of a pet.

* animal. The animal field holds the type of animal that a pet is. Example values are "Dog","Cat",and "Brid".

* age. The age field holds the pet's age.

The pet class should also have the following methods:

* setName. The setName method stores a value in the field.

* setAnimal. The setAnimal method stores a value in the animal field.

* setAge. The setAge method stores value in the age field.

* getName. The getName method returns the value of the name field.

* getAnimal. The getAnimal method returns the value of the animal field.

* getAge. The getAge method returns the value of the age field.

public class Pet {

private String name;

private String animal;

private int age;

public String getName() {

return name;

}

public void setName(String name) {

this.name = name;

}

public String getAnimal() {

return animal;

}

public void setAnimal(String animal) {

this.animal = animal;

}

public int getAge() {

return age;

}

public void setAge(int age) {

this.age = age;

}

}

dont specify the protection level for each variable.

class Pet {

private:
 int x;
 int y;

public:
 //etc etc 

by String do you mean std::string? If so #include <string>

this is a pointer so use this->name (or rename member variable to m_name or something like that)

I suggest reading this:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/classes/

oh, and a class ends with a semi colon.
