}


this is what i have thus far.

Now, when i submit the file to an automated checker, i receive some serious errors.

Your code could not be compiled. The following

These are errors that the autograder receives upon attempted compilation.

I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.

Anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Edit::

I should add, the program compiles and runs beautifully. I really do not understand why the autograder fails to compile.

string getName(string bidder1);
string getName2(string bidder2);
string getLot(string lotName);
double getPrice(double reservePrice);

They are declared but not defined and I wonder it that's what is doesn't like.
