Hw help w/ classes

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

class Acct
{
public:
  Account( char [], char, double);           //constructor
    
  void printAccount();
  void changeBalance( double );

  void setAcctType( char );

  char getAcctType();
  double getBalance();

private:
  char name[50];
  char acctType;
  double balance;
};

void printAccount()
void changeBalance(double amountToChange)
void setAcctType(char newType)
double getBalance()
char getAcctType()


int main()
{
Acct account1 = Acct( "Dylan, John", 'C', 113019.77 );
Acct account2 = Acct( "Taylor, Jon", 'C', 1234.50 );
Acct account3 = Acct( "Temperance, Brennan", 'C', 82.12 );
Acct account4 = Acct( "Seeley, Booth", 'C', 3869.00 );
Acct account5 = Acct( "Zach, Addy", 'C', 71940.76 );

account1.printAcct();
account2.printAcct();
account3.printAcct();
account4.printAcct();
account5.printAcct();
}

void Acct::printAccount()
{
int i;

cout << "
}


void setAcctType( char newType )
{
} 

I need help setting up these methods into my program. Can someone show me how it would look in my program above
void printAccount()

void setAcctType( char newType )

char getAcctType()

double getBalance()

[mzimmers]

Here's an example to help you get started. Your function definition:

void printAccount()

has no scope. You need to prepend the name of the function with your class name:

void Acct::printAccount()

Get these fixed, and see how it does.

[Silkxx]

okay i did that. I'm just unfamiliar on how it knows which account to print from above

[mzimmers]

You tell it which account, by calling the method from the appropriate object, as you're doing here:

account1.printAcct();
account2.printAcct();
account3.printAcct();
account4.printAcct();
account5.printAcct();
}

This code will run the printAcct() routine for each of the five accounts you've created.

[Silkxx]

okay, after i print account1 i need to increase the balance by 500 do i just

account1.set_acctBal( 500 )

[Silkxx]

and would

void Acct::printAccount()
{
cout << name << acctType << balance; 
}

work?

[mzimmers]

If you want to increment the balance, you need to know what the balance is. The usual way to do this is with a get() function, similar to your set() function.

Your cout statement will display those three members, but they'll be run together. You might want to put a " " in between the members.

[Silkxx]

would it be like this then?

account1.set_acctBal = double getBalance()

or how would it work, and i have an error with

void Acct::printAccount()
{
if (acctType == 'C')
cout << name << "/t"<< "Checking Account Balance:  $"<< balance; 
else
cout << name << "/t"<< "Savings Account Balance:  $"<< balance; 
}

i get a error saying it expected initializer before void

[mzimmers]

No, your set_acctBal() is a function, so you have to call it. The parameter you pass it is the new balance you want to set, which is $500 more than it currently is, right?

account1.set_acctBal(account1.getBalance() + 500.);

The error you're getting with printAccount() sounds like it's being caused by a code problem just before the function definition. I can't be sure, though, unless I see your entire program.

I cant help you with your constructors until i see what you have so far.
