Function call error??

[tomtom61695]

I am trying to write a program where it inputs information from a file, and then sorts the information based on ID, Name, and Salary. Currently I am stuck on this first part and am getting a function call error that says

"error: no matching function for call to 'get_data'
get_data(inp, data, count);
^~~~~~~~"

Any help would be much appreciated.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std; 

struct Employee{
int id;
string first;
string last;
double salary;
};

void get_data(ifstream &inp, Employee data[], int &count);

int main(){
int count = 0;
string input_filename;
string data;

cout << "Enter the name of the file you would like to be sorted: ";
	cin >> input_filename;
	ifstream inp;
	inp.open(input_filename.c_str());
	get_data(inp, data, count);


return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

void get_data(ifstream &inp, Employee data[], int &count){

	do{
	inp >> data[count].id;
	inp >> data[count].first;
	inp >> data[count].last;
	inp >> data[count].salary;
	count++;
	}while(!inp.eof());
}

Your data on line 21 is of type string, not type Employee.

In main() what type of variable is data?

What type of variable does your function expect?

Are they the same types?

Thank you, I changed the string data to Employee data[] and it worked just fine. Much appreciated!
