Having a Little trouble with Classes Program..Need Help

[jrock]

Write a class named Employee that has the following member variables:

• name. A string that holds the employee’s name.
• idNumber. An int variable that holds the employee’s ID number.
• department. A string that holds the name of the department where the employee works.
• position. A string that holds the employee’s job title.



The class should have the following constructors:

• A constructor that accepts the following values as arguments and assigns them to the appropriate member variables: employee’s name, employee’s ID number, department, and position.

• A constructor that accepts the following values as arguments and assigns them to the appropriate member variables: employee’s name and ID number. The department and position fields should be assigned an empty string (“ “);

• A default constructor that assigns empty strings (“ “) to the name, department, and position member variables, and 0 to the idNumber member variable.

Write appropriate mutator functions that store values in these member variables and accessor functions that return the values in these member variables. Once you have written the class, create a three Employee objects (3 separate instances), in your main function, to hold the following data.

Name ID Number Department Position
Susan Meyers 47899 Accounting Vice President
Mark Jones 39119 IT Programmer
Joy Rogers 81774 Manufacturing Engineer

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

// class declaration
class emoployee
{
	
private:
	char name;				// holds employee name
	double idNumber;		// holds employee number
	char department;		// holds the name of department
	char position;			// holds job title
public:
	void setName(char);
	void setidNumber(double);
	void setDepartment(char);
	void setPosition(char);
	char getName()const;
	char getidNumber()const;
	char getDepartment()const;
	char getPosition()const;
};

int main()
{
	char employee emp1, emp2, emp3;
	emp1.setName("Susan Meyers");
	emp2.setName("Mark Jones");
	emp3.setName("Joy Rodgers");

	char name;				// employee name
	double idNumber;		// To hold a number
	char department;		// name of the department
	char position;			// name of job title

	employee::employee(char name, double idNumber, char department, char position)
		name = name;
		idNumber = idNum;
		department = dept;
		position = post;

	employee::employee(char department, char position)
		getDepartment();
		getPosition();

	employee::employee(char department, char position, double idNumber)
		getDepartment();
		getPosition();
		getidNumber(0);
	return 0;

please put your code in [c0de] [/c0de] Tags (without the space before the ]) so it's easier to read.

err I'll do it.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string> // We want to use strings to store crap

using namespace std;

// class declaration
class employee // Spell it right pls :)
{
private:
string name; // Now a string, don't need to comment that it's a name
int idNumber; // Now an int. ID numbers don't have decimal points
string department; // now a string
string position; // now a strng
public:
void setName(string value) { name = value;} 
void setidNumber(int value) { idNumber = value;} 
void setDepartment(string value) { department = value; }
void setPosition(char); // Fill in the rest yourself!
char getName()const;
char getidNumber()const;
char getDepartment()const;
char getPosition()const;
employee() { } // Default constructor, does nothing so fill it in
};

int main()
{
employee emp1 = employee();
emp1.setName("Susan Meyers");

employee emp2 = employee();
emp2.setName("Some other guy");
// Etc

return 0;
}

That should be more than enough of a start for you.
