Pushing an object on a Stack

itsjuzme (7)
I keep getting errors every time I try to push the instance of the object instead of an int. Any suggestions on how to get it to compile?

Your Stack.h does not know about the Gumball class so it's just assuming it's an int. You should put the Gumball class definition into a .h file, and have Stack.h and your main file #include it. Also, your array of gumballs member in the stack class should be an array of Gumballs, not ints.
