Bookstore::Bookstore()

}



and all I have in the other source files (FictionBook.cpp, NonFictionBook.cpp, Magazine.cpp) is the #include "Includes.h"

so here are my errors

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and when I go to correct it I get more errors. If I take my switch statement out I have no errors.

EDIT: I changed one line of code and fixed most of the errors. the line of code I changed is:

 
 
FictionBook *oFictionBook = new FictionBook


I put the * in front of the oFictionBook and it got rid of that problem. Now it tells me that I need to have a semicolon before my arrow ( -> ) operator when I'm declaring my functions and I'm not understanding that...

FictionBook->SetBookName(int); and the other set function calls aren't valid.. you need to specify the actual variable that you are sending, not the type. Also some of those dont even take ints, but strings.
