No Matching Function for call to...

[onetwothreenewbie]

Hi I am new to this forum. Every time I run my program this build message appears


error: no matching function for call to 'Accounts::Accounts(std::string&, std::string&, int&, int&, std::string&, double&)'|

in my main the call to the function:

while (infile >> lastname)
    {
        infile >> firstname;
        infile >> ssn;
        infile >> acct_num;
        infile >> acct_type;
        infile >> acct_balance;
        bank.addAccounts(lastname,firstname,ssn,acct_num,acct_type,acct_balance);
    }

my .h file:
mutator/setter

void addAccounts(string lastname, string firstname, int ssn,
                     int acct_num, string acct_type, double acct_balance);

my .cpp:

 void Bank::addAccounts(string lastname, string firstname, int ssn,
                              int acct_num, string acct_type, double acct_balance)
{
    accounts[numaccts] = Accounts(lastname,firstname,ssn,acct_num,
                                  acct_type,acct_balance);
    numaccts++;
}

Any suggestions as to why this build error keeps recurring????

Accounts(lastname,firstname,ssn,acct_num,
                                  acct_type,acct_balance);

You don't appear to have defined a constructor taking these arguments.

Here is my constructor that I made to take in these arguments: (it is in my Accounts. h)

#ifndef ACCOUNTS_H
#define ACCOUNTS_H

#include <string>

#include "Depositor.h"

using namespace std;

//Accounts class declarations
class Accounts {
    int acct_num;
    string acct_type;
    double acct_balance;
    Depositor depositor;
  public:
    //Constructors
    // Accounts default constructor

    Accounts()
    {
        acct_num = 0;
        acct_type = "";
        acct_balance = 0.00;
    }

    // Accounts constructor 2 - accepts 6 arguments:
 
     Accounts(int acctnum, string accttype, double acctbalance,
              int ssn,string lastname, string firstname)
    {
        acct_num = acctnum;
        acct_type = accttype;
        acct_balance = acctbalance;
        depositor = Depositor(ssn,lastname,firstname);
    }

This is why im confused as of why it isn't compiling. @_@ Is there more to this i should be considering?

[firedraco]

You are calling it as if it takes:

(string, string, int, int, string, double)

However your definition states it takes:
(int, string, double, int, string, string)

Order is important.

[bluecoder]

you have overloaded the function and not provided the defination on the function

Accounts(int acctnum, string accttype, double acctbalance,
              int ssn,string lastname, string firstname)

this is wrong

Accounts(string acctnum, string accttype, int acctbalance,
              int ssn,string lastname, double firstname)

This is right
