cannot convert parameter 1

[twentfiveu]

I am having a bit of trouble. I dont understand what the compiler is trying to say. I have conducted reaserch, and added the const to two of my functions, but that did not even work.

Week1Lab_Benjamin Horne.cpp
1>Week1Lab_Benjamin Horne.cpp(45): error C2664: 'DayOfTheWeek::setDay' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'DayOfTheWeek' to 'std::string'

//DayOfTheWeek class definition

class DayOfTheWeek
{
public:
	// set the day of the week
	void setDay(string day1 )
	{

	} // end of function

	// function that gets the DayofTheWeek
	
	string getDay()const
	{
		return day; // returns the DayOfTheWeek
	} // end of getDayOfTheWeek function

	void printDay() const
	{
		cout << "The value of the " << getDay() << 
			"object is " << getDay() << endl;
	}
private:
	string day; // day is only availiable to DayOfTheWeek class functions
}; // end of DayOfTheWeek class definition


int main()
{
	DayOfTheWeek Monday;
	DayOfTheWeek Tuesday;
	
	
	
	Monday.setDay(Monday);
	Monday.getDay();
	Monday.printDay();

	Tuesday.setDay(Tuesday);
	Tuesday.getDay();
	Tuesday.printDay();

	return 0;
}

Lines 40, and 44 are where you're going wrong. You're trying to convert a string into a DayOfTheWeek structure, which doesn't make sense. Calling getDay( ) with solve this. For example:

int main( )
{
    Monday.setDay( Monday.getDay( ) );

    Tuesdat.setDay( Tuesday.getDay( ) );
}

I figured it out. I was not using quotations for my strings. .

Monday.setDay("Monday");

Tuesday.setDay("Tuesday");
