Passing a vector to a print function in another class

[jmginsberg]

I read the forums all the time and this is my first post, so please bare with me. I have a simple question on how to pass a vector to a member function in another class. This seems ignorant but I'm fulfilling an aspect of my assignment (class wrapper). It works within the same class, but when I move the printShapePtrVector to its own class I get the following error:
'ShapeVector' : base class undefined
Can someone please give me a hint of what I'm doing wrong - I thinks it's an easy fix if it's possible at all. Here are my two classes in question: Again, I'm new so if I'm posting it incorrectly, please let me know and I'll fix it.

The PrintVector class:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
class PrintVector : public ShapeVector
{
public:

void displayShapePtrVector(vector<TwoDimensionalShape*> &intVectorRef)
{
vector<TwoDimensionalShape*>::const_iterator vecIterator;

for (vecIterator = intVectorRef.begin();vecIterator != intVectorRef.end();vecIterator++)
{
(*vecIterator)->draw();
(*vecIterator)->area();

Circle *myCirclePtr = dynamic_cast<Circle*>(*vecIterator);
if (myCirclePtr)
{
myCirclePtr->circumference();
cout << endl;
}
Triangle *myTrianglePtr = dynamic_cast<Triangle*>(*vecIterator);
if (myTrianglePtr)
{
myTrianglePtr->hypotenuse();
cout << endl;
}
Rectangle *myRectanglePtr = dynamic_cast<Rectangle*>(*vecIterator);
if (myRectanglePtr)
{
myRectanglePtr->perimeter();
cout << endl;
}
}
cout << endl;
}
private:
};

The calling function's class:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include "Circle.h"
#include "Triangle.h"
#include "Rectangle.h"
#include "TwoDimensionalShape.h"
using namespace std;
#include "PrintVector.h"

class Start
{
public:
Start()
{
}
virtual ~Start()
{
deleteShapePtrVector(shapePtrVector);
}
//void displayShapePtrVector(vector<TwoDimensionalShape*> &intVectorRef)
//{
// vector<TwoDimensionalShape*>::const_iterator vecIterator;
//
// for (vecIterator = intVectorRef.begin();vecIterator != intVectorRef.end();vecIterator++)
// {
// (*vecIterator)->draw();
// (*vecIterator)->area();
//
// Circle *myCirclePtr = dynamic_cast<Circle*>(*vecIterator);
// if (myCirclePtr)
// {
// myCirclePtr->circumference();
// cout << endl;
// }
// Triangle *myTrianglePtr = dynamic_cast<Triangle*>(*vecIterator);
// if (myTrianglePtr)
// {
// myTrianglePtr->hypotenuse();
// cout << endl;
// }
// Rectangle *myRectanglePtr = dynamic_cast<Rectangle*>(*vecIterator);
// if (myRectanglePtr)
// {
// myRectanglePtr->perimeter();
// cout << endl;
// }
// }
// cout << endl;
//}
void deleteShapePtrVector(vector<TwoDimensionalShape*> &intVectorRef)
{
vector<TwoDimensionalShape*>::const_iterator vecIterator;
TwoDimensionalShape *myShapePtr(0);

for (vecIterator = intVectorRef.begin();vecIterator != intVectorRef.end();vecIterator++)
{
myShapePtr = (*vecIterator);
delete myShapePtr;
myShapePtr = 0;
cout << "Shape is gone!" << endl;
}
}
int menu()
{
double radius = 0;
double base = 0;
double height = 0;
int userInput = -1;
do
{
cout << "\nWhat kind of object would you like to create?" << endl
<< "(1) Circle" << endl
<< "(2) Triangle" << endl
<< "(3) Rectangle" << endl
<< "(4) Print Shapes" << endl
<< "(5) Quit" << endl;
cin >> userInput;
if (userInput==1)
{
cout << "Input radius" << endl;
cin >> radius;
if (radius <=0)
cout << "Must be a positive number!" << endl;
else
{
TwoDimensionalShape *myShapePtr = new Circle(radius, radius);
shapePtrVector.push_back(myShapePtr);
}
}
else if (userInput==2)
{
cout << "Input base and height" << endl;
cin >> base
>> height;
if (base <=0 || height <=0)
cout << "Must be postive numbers!" << endl;
else
{
TwoDimensionalShape *myShapePtr = new Triangle(base, height);
shapePtrVector.push_back(myShapePtr);
}
}
else if (userInput==3)
{
cout << "Input base and height" << endl;
cin >> base
>> height;
if (base <=0 || height <=0)
cout << "Must be postive numbers!" << endl;
else
{
TwoDimensionalShape *myShapePtr = new Rectangle(base, height);
shapePtrVector.push_back(myShapePtr);
}
}
else if (userInput==4)
{
displayShapePtrVector(shapePtrVector); }//this is the problem line
else if (userInput==5)
break;
else
{
cout << "Invalid input" << endl;
system("cls");
}
}while(userInput);
return 0;
}
private:
vector<TwoDimensionalShape*> shapePtrVector;
};

int main()
{
system("color f4");
Start s;
s.menu();
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Sorry for the length, but I'm not sure how much to post. Thanks!

you should follow conventions and use good programming practices, Your code looks like a "speghetti". Idented code has more readability. In present condition, it is almost impossible to analize your code.

You can use the code format tags to format your code.

Have you looked at the code you posted? There isn't a definition for ShapeVector, but you've used it as a base class for PrintVector. That's what the compiler is complaining about.
