header file error

[clomer]

Hi, Im having trouble implementing a built in container in a class with a small program im making.

Im probably making a stupid mistake but cant figure it out. One of my tutors gave me a sample code to use, I studied it then threw it away as I was wanting to do it off my own back, stupid really.

#ifndef STUDENT_H
#define STUDENT_H

#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<string>


struct Student_Details{

	int student_number_;
	std::string course_ID_;
	std::string student_fname_;
	std::string student_sname_;
	int age_;
	double grade_;
	
	//constructor
	Student_Details(int snumber = 0, std::string cid = "", std::string studentfname = "", std::string studentsname = "", int age = 0, double grade = 0)
		:student_number_(snumber)
		,course_ID_(cid)
		,student_fname_(studentfname)
		,student_sname_(studentsname)
		,age_(age)
		,grade_(grade)
	{}
};

class StudentDB{
public:
	int setstudent();
	int displaystudent();
private:
	typedef vector<Student_Details> StCon;
	StCon Student_;
};

#endif

Here is the errors Im getting

You cannot use typedef with vectors. That is what is causing most of your errors. Also, line 36 is invalid. Get rid of it completely. Instead, use StCon.push_back(/*student constructor*/) Wherever you need to add a student, but not in your class definition. Just call push_back whenever you want to add a student object to your vector. Your vector also needs to be std::vector... not just vector. Just like the strings.

Thank you, it was just the std::vector. The program compiles fine and yes I do use push_back(student constructor) in my main program which I didnt include in the post as I had tested it earlier and it worked fine.

Typedef works fine also.
