Error: expected constructor before '<' token

stac101 (3)
Hello all! Forgive me I am new so I'm not sure how to format posts.

I'm doing a simple program to calculate the cost of a meal, tax, tip, and total and I've checked it 800 times and I cannot seem to find the error it is speaking of?

Could someone help me?

Is this all of the code? I don't see an issue here. And the error message seems to say that there at least 124 lines of code, which this does not.

Yes, this is all of the code. I copied the error message from my compiler screen and retyped the code when I posted this. So that's why the line numbers don't match up.

If it looks like nothing is wrong then why isn't it compiling?

Copy and paste your exact code, do not retype it by hand.

Okay, here it is copy and pasted. But the line numbers still won't match up.

The code you posted compiles fine, stac101.
