I need help fixing some errors.

Basically I have an assignment to debug this code and allow it to run, my problem is I can't tell what is wrong based on the errors I'm receiving, so I'm completely lost on what to do. I really dont understand the "no matching function for call to..." error the most. In general I could use some help and explanations. The main area its telling me I have errors at are at lines 73 and 77, from what I understand

On line 77 you are trying to call the Token constructor with a const char& and a String& as parameters. You have no constructor defined that takes those arguments.
so how do I fix that
You can either create a constructor that takes those arguments or do something else on that line instead. What are you trying to accomplish there?
just to get it to compile
