Program to generate a card deck

[misspartee]

//So far this program generates a card deck, shuffles it, and outputs the card
//Header file----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//create a class called card
class card

//print function
string print();

//create two card variables face and suit

//create a class for deckOfCards
class deckOfCards

here is my code, i tried to make it very detailed.
for some reason I keep getting these three errors and they don't make sense.
can someone please help :/

card.cpp:69:5: error: use of undeclared identifier 'currentCard'
currentCard = deck.dealCard();
^
card.cpp:71:13: error: use of undeclared identifier 'currentCard'
cout << currentCard.print() << endl;
^
card.cpp:110:10: error: array type 'card [52]' is not assignable
deck = new card[SIZE];
~~~~ ^

Error 1) currentCar is an 'int' and the function deck.dealCar() return a card type object. You have to make your dealCar() rerturn an 'int' or make currentCar a class object instead of an 'int'.

Error 2) you print function returns a string. you have to declare a string variable and make that variable call the print() function. Then you can cout that variable.

deckOfcards myobject;
string something;
something = myobject.print();

Error 3) Arrays won't take SIZE if you make it a const int. Instead do this:

//Initilize constant variables
#define SIZE 52 

This will substitute in 52 in place of SIZE and remember there is no semicolon (;) after 52

thank you!
