problem with c++ class implementation

[cannsyl]

i have this code and I am getting an error in main () at masterInfo x; that says "conversion from 'int' to non-scalar type 'masterInfo' requested" any suggestions on why this is happening would be appreciated. Thanks

Your error is here, I think:

    int first, second, third, fourth, fifth;
    masterInfo timeSheet [5] = {first, second, third, fourth, fifth};

Notice the fact that 'first', 'second', etc. are of type int and you're declaring an array of type masterInfo? It is trying to convert values of type int into values of type masterInfo. You would need a constructor in the masterInfo class that takes an int as a parameter and stores it in whatever variable in masterInfo class it needs to be stored in.

ok if I change the int to masterInfo I now get an error that says timeSheet is undeclared...aren't i declaring it an array of the masterInfo class? or do i need to do array timesheet[5] = {first.....}?

 
int main ()
{
    
    int empNum = 1;
    masterInfo x;
    masterInfo first, second, third, fourth, fifth;
    masterInfo timeSheet [5] = {first, second, third, fourth, fifth};

How is this even compiling? I don't think it should be.

cout <<"Employee id: " <<;

You misspelled timeSheet here. That's why it is saying it's undeclared.

timesheet[empNum].getid();

well everything is compiling now, but when i run the program it is not accepting the spaces in my string...I know regularly i can do getline(cin, name); but I am not sure how to do that with the class and array stuff?

You would just use
cin >> name;
rather than
cin >> (cin, name);
