ERROR! no constructor could take.....

[carl071]

Hi fellow programmers. I'm current using VB C++ 6.0
I don't know what's wrong with my code. I think it's right
can you guys please explain to me what this error is??

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

const int NUMRECS=2;

struct PayRec
{
	string name;
	int pay;
};

int main()
{
	int i;
	PayRec employee[NUMRECS]={
		{"Johnsons",200},
		{"paxons",200}
	};

	cout<<endl;
	for(i=0; i<NUMRECS; i++)
	{
		cout<<employee[i].name<<endl;
		cout<<employee[i].pay<<endl;
	}

	return 0;
}

error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'struct PayRec'
No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

If you really are using Visual Studio 6.0, I would HIGHIGHLHGOIHLGHIHGLY recommend moving to a new version or to a more modern compiler.

VB C++ 6.0

Visual Basic C++ 6.0? I hope you mean Visual Studio 6 (which, by the way, has a C++ compiler containing a number of know bugs and other issues - why not upgrade to something better and free of charge?)

Anyway, your code compiles and runs on two of my systems, and also here: http://ideone.com/lxnXv

I think it's only my version that's making the problem. Thank you guys for helping.

VC++6 is defunct - get rid of it.



By the way this would be a solution using VC++6

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

const int NUMRECS=2;

struct PayRec
{
    string name;
    int pay;
    
    PayRec(string _name, int _pay) 
    {

        name = _name;
        pay = _pay;
    };
    
};

int main()
{
    int i;
    PayRec employee [NUMRECS]={ { PayRec("Johnsons",200) },{ PayRec("paxons",200) } };


    
    cout<<endl;
    for(i=0; i<NUMRECS; i++)
    {
        cout<<employee[i].name<<endl;
        cout<<employee[i].pay<<endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
