Example sms service in studybook is not compiling

iluah (5)
Hi all,

I just joined this website for a problem I can't seem to figure out. I am trying to compile a sms service that is used as an example in my studybook. It has one provider with a total of 10 mobile phone users that can send text messages to eachother.

The error is at:
Mobile *Provider :: getMobile ( int nr );

compiler error:
error: extra qualification 'Provider::' on member 'getMobile' [-fpermissive]|

Can someone explain this error and make the code compile?

Some compiler (like visual c++) allow the extra scope qualification other not (like the gcc).

Just remove Provider :: from line 25.
