HELP WITH A _EmployeeClass_Program

[Icshorts]

I have been working on this employee class program that takes the first name, last, name, dependents, gender, and annual salary. for an eemployee1 and employee2. The instructor only wants this 1 .cpp file. I can't get it to compile. I don't really understand what I'm missing.Any help would be greatly appreciated this is my last resort.

Well, copy-pasting this into CodeBlocks and looking at the error report... there's a lot of things wrong with this. Let me work through it and see what I can do, first...

Well, for one, line 23 doesn't have an actual type.

All your function definitions are inside the class declaration. :( Try defining your functions outside of the class, like this:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
class Person   //class declaration
{
public:
    std::string getName();
    void setName(std::string newName);
private:
    std::string _name;
};  //End of class declaration

// function definitions
std::string Person::getName() { return _name; }
void Person::setName(std::string newName) { _name = newName; }

// main
int main()
{
    Person p;
    p.setName("Alicia");
    std::cout << p.getName();
    return 0;
}

Thanks everyone, I still have some issues. My instructor told me that it has to be in the layout I have. If the methods are in the class or outside I still get an error both ways.

If the methods are in the class or outside I still get an error both ways.

The implementation code should be outside the class - even better in it's own .cpp file.

The functions you have in the main.cpp file could also be part of the class.

If you still have errors then post them in full - we can go from there.

Line 198 - remove the semicolon, so that it becomes a function definition and not a re-declaration.

line 154 - 155 - always put a return type for function declarations.

As I said these function should be part of the class.

Hope all goes well.
