error: no match for 'operator<<' in 'std::operator<< [with _Traits = std::char_traits<char>](((std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)(& std::cout)), ((const char*)"Hi my name is")) << v.Vars::Names()'|
cout << "Hi my name is" << v.Names() << endl;

So what is the return type of Names()?

(return) type is the data type specifier of the data returned by the function.

oh, yeah return, well there isnt really a type i dont think there just cout statements.

i did this

v.Names(TIME2)

and it just gives me this
