Working with Classes - Error problems

badkaykay (96)
I am writing a program for a class and am specifically working on part of my code. I am trying to write a bool isFull class member function( I believe that is the correct name). Here are the errors:


p2.cpp: In function `void readWords(std::ifstream&, int&, WordList&)':
p2.cpp:128: error: 'class WordList' has no member named 'isFull'


Header file code:

//*************************isFull***********************************
//  Name:         isFull
//  Description:  returns true if array is full, returns false if empty
//  Parameters:   
//  Return:       true
//****************************************************************      
    bool isFull();

//*************************isFull********************************************
//may not have this written right???

	bool WordList::isFull()  {
	
	countW = 0;
      	const int MAX_WORDS = 1000;
		
		if (countW == MAX_WORDS)
		    return(true);		//is full
		else 
		    return(false);		//is not full

	}

      		while ((theList.isFull()) && inf >> word) {

              		theList += word;
              		countW++;
      		}
	
      	//cout << "File read" << endl;
	}//function delimiter

Um .. Is the declaration in the header file commented out?
badkaykay (96)
Sorry - no it was there - it was just out in left field. I moved it back.
TheIdeasMan (6817)
Does it work now that it isn't part of a comment?
badkaykay (96)
It no longer generates that error - but I guess I really want to know if I am using right when I call it in the application file.

Looks OK to me.

Doesn't isFull() always return false since you set countW to 0?
badkaykay (96)
Yes - I fixed this with some help but the countW being set to 0 was part of the problem.
