Calling a function from a class

[neckronis]

Hey there,

I am trying to learn how to us functions in seperate files but i fail each time i try.
I have some problems with Calling (a) function(s) from a class that is in a seperate file.

Example

file: main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "myClass.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
myClass mc;
mc.setName("Santa");
cout << mc.getName();
return 0;
}



file: myClass.h

#ifndef MYCLASS_H
#define MYCLASS_H

class myClass
{
public:
void setName();
string getName();
myClass();
};
#endif

file: myClass.cpp

#include "myClass.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

myClass::myClass()
{
public:
myClass(){
cout << "this is the constructor\n\n";
}
void setName(string x){
name = x;
}
string getName(){
return name;
}
private:
string name;
};

Could some1 please help me, i don't know how to do this right and can't find a explanation on the internet how to do this.
Maybe a example how to call a simple function from a class in a seperate file(with .cpp &.h)

Thank you for your time and help,
Neckronis

For your example class:

main.cpp

int main()
{  
	myClass mc;
	mc.setName("Santa");
	cout << mc.getName() << endl; // making the output a bit nicer               
	return 0;
}

myClass.h contains the class definition:

#pragma once
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using std::string;

class myClass
{
public:
	string name;// member variables go here
	void setName(string x);
	string getName();
	myClass(void);
	~myClass(void);
};

myClass.cpp contains the function definitions:

#include "myClass.h"

myClass::myClass(void){
	std::cout << "this is the constructor\n\n";
}

myClass::~myClass(void){
	std::cout << "this is the destructor\n\n";
}

void myClass::setName(string x){
name = x;
}

string myClass::getName(){
return name;
}

hy your errors are in comment's

file: main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "myClass.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
myClass mc;
mc.setName("Santa");
cout << mc.getName();
return 0;
}

file: myClass.h

class myClass
{
      string name;  //this shall be moved from MyClass.cpp (you move it)
public:
void setName();
string getName();
myClass();
};

file: myClass.cpp

#include "myClass.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

myClass::myClass()  //remove this
{  //and this
public:  //use public keyword only in declaration (MyClass.h)
myClass(){
cout << "this is the constructor\n\n";
}
void MyClass::setName(string x) { //use full name and :: operator
name = x;
}
string MyClass::getName(){  //use full name and :: operator
return name;
}
private:   //use private keyword only in declaration  (MyClass.h)
string name; //this shall be only in declaration (MyClass.h)
}; //remove this too
