A string problem.

I'm making a text adventure engine. I want to use strings in the class and I think I'm leaving a lib out or something. Here's the code:

1

9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int position[] = {0,1,2};

class roomcreation{
  public:

    void setName(string name);
    string getName(string name);

    void setDesc(string desc);
    string getDesc(string desc);

  private:
    string itsName;
    string itsDesc;
};

void roomcreation::setName(string name){
  itsName = name;
}

void roomcreation::setDesc(string desc){
  itsDesc = desc;
}

string roomcreation::getName(){
  return string itsName;
}

string roomcreation::getDesc(){
  return itsDesc;
}

you shouldn't have parameters in the getter functions ( and they should be declared const )

The ones in public?

Nevermind, I see what you're saying.

Yes.

You are declaring that this function exists and accepts a single string as the parameter:

string getDesc(string desc);

but defining this function, which takes no parameters.

string roomcreation::getDesc(){
  return itsDesc;
}


The declaration must match the definition.
