assigning variables to an array of objects?

[adam0421]

I have tried a couple different ways of assigning variables to this array. When I do it this way I get an error on the payroll[i] = h; that says "No viable overloaded '='

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include "payroll.h"
using namespace std;

const int SIZE = 7;

int main()
{
    Payroll payroll[SIZE];
    
    for (int i = 0; i<1; i++)
    {
        int h;
        double r;
        cout << "Please enter number of hours for employee " << i + 1 << endl;
        cin >> h;
        payroll[i] = h;
        
        
        
    }
    
    
    //cout << Payroll::getHours();
    
    
        return 0;
}

I have also tried this. There is no error message but the variable 'h' is not assigned to the setHours member.

Payroll payroll[SIZE];
    
    for (int i = 0; i<1; i++)
    {
        double h;
        double r;
        cout << "Please enter number of hours for employee " << i + 1 << endl;
        cin >> h;
        payroll[i].setHours(h);
        
        
        
    }

Here is the header and .cpp files.

Payroll::Payroll()
{
    Payrate = 0;
    Hours = 0;
    
}


void Payroll::setHours(double h)
{
    h=Hours;
}

void Payroll::setPay(double p)
{
    p=Payrate;
}

[tath]

void Payroll::setHours(double h)
{
    h=Hours;
    Hours = h;
}

void Payroll::setPay(double p)
{
    p=Payrate;
    Payrate = p;
}

Doing it this way payroll[i].setHours(h); is the correct way in doing so the reason why it doesn't work is there is a problem within your setHours() method.

void Payroll::setHours(double h)
{
    // You are assigning Hours to h when it should be the otherway around.
    // For example it should be Hours = h;
    h=Hours;
}

The same goes for your setPay() method, you need to swap those around also.
