Dunno what to do from here

Sieves (45)
So i'm trying to test my class so i can start writing the driver and have faith that the it will all work but i am running into this incredibly frustrating error...

Error 1 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'using' c:\users\tyler\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\cs150_program_3\cs150_program_3\grid_driver.cpp 7 1 cs150_Program_3
Error 2 error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'using' c:\users\tyler\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\cs150_program_3\cs150_program_3\grid.cpp 8 1 cs150_Program_3

i figure i must have messed up somewhere other than using namespace std; but i really have no idea what the error could be... please help!

It sounds like you might have forgotten the ; that should be at the end of your class definition (where ever that is.)

class Grid {
  ...
}; //<-- Did you remember this guy?


If not, the error seems to be somewhere at the end of the file Grid.h that you are including in both of these files.

FYI: all files that don't have a main function should be *.h files...

The error is probably in your Grid.h file. Are you forgetting a semicolon after your class definition?

class Grid
{
  //...
};  // <- don't forget this


If that's not the problem, please post Grid.h as well and maybe we can spot it.

There is an error i will never forget again :] thanks a lot!! and btw i know they should all be .h files but my teacher is weird....

No.

Typically for a class, the class definition is put in a header file and the implementation is in a code file as you did above with Grid.h and Grid.cpp. One exception would be for templates which usually must all be in the header file.
