Need help with code

nickp220 (2)
Hello everyone I am in need of assistance for this program that I am writing. When I run the program I receive 8 errors 4 of which are claiming lines 35,37,57, and 69 are inaccessible and the other 4 for lines 83,85,87,99 are saying cannot access private member. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default access for a class in c++ is private - so it won't even be able to access the constructors.

Put
public:
as the first statement in each of your dog and cat classes and you get this witty conversation:
Animal constructor executing...
Speak.
Animal constructor executing...
Dog constructor executing...
Woof!
Animal constructor executing...
Cat constructor executing...
Meow!
Cat destructor executing...
Animal destructor...
Dog destructor executing...
Animal destructor...
Animal destructor...
