Questions about missing default parameters

[Jonoleth]

I have a program that includes

//Package.h
#ifndef PACKAGE_H
#define PACKAGE_H

#include <string>
using std::string;

class Package
{
public:
Package(const string &, const string &, const string &, const string &, int = 0,
const string &, const string &, const string &, const string &, int = 0,
double = 0.0 , double = 0.0 );// top part is sender, middle is reciever, bottom is weight and price

private:
string senderName;
string senderAddress;
string senderCity;
string senderState;
int senderZip;

string recieverName;
string recieverAddress;
string recieverCity;
string recieverState;
int recieverZip;

double weight;
double price;
};//end of class package

#endif

and

//Package.cpp
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;

#include "Package.h" //package class definition

//constructor
Package::Package( const string &sName, const string &sAddress ,const string &sState, const string &sCity, int sZip, const string &reciverN, const string &recieverA , const string &recieverS, const string &recieverC, int rZip, double w, double p )
{
senderName = sName;
senderAddress = sAddress;
senderCity = sCity;
senderState = sSate;
senderZip = sZip;
recieverName = recieverN;
recieverAddress = recieverA;
recieverCity = recieverC;
recieverState = recieverS;
recieverZip = rZip;

weight = w;
price = p;
}//end of package constructor

and when I run the main function I get this error message

I can not figure out why parameters 6-9 are missing but all the others seem to work. Any insight as to what the problem might be will be much appreciated.

You can't have a default parameter in the middle of the parameter list like that. Once you have a default parameter, all following parameters must have default parameters as well.

void good(
    int a,
    int b = 0,  // now that we have a default param
    int c = 0   // all parameters following must have a default
   );

void bad()
    int a,
    int b = 0,
    int c      // ERROR - needs a default param
   );
