inheritance

unstoppy (49)
Hi guys
I am making a "five hand draw" poker game using inheritance.
I've previously made a linked list now I need to inherit(maybe spelling mistake :) from previously created Node class to create Card class.

This is what I've done so far. But I get few errors like:

card.h:15:1: error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token
card.h:18:2: error: ‘string’ does not name a type
card.h:19:3: error: ‘string’ does not name a type
card.cpp: In constructor ‘Card::Card()’:
card.cpp:15:2: error: ‘fRank’ was not declared in this scope
card.cpp:16:2: error: ‘fSuit’ was not declared in this scope
card.cpp: In member function ‘void Card::print()’:
card.cpp:25:10: error: ‘fRank’ was not declared in this scope
card.cpp:25:28: error: ‘fSuit’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [card.o] Error 1

Thanks in advance.

Use std::string rather than just string. And #include <string> .

thanks for the reply.

But inheritance is still not working. I still get this error.
card.h:15:1: error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token

Your Node is in the namespace CppLists. So you need to refer to it as CppLists::Node outside that namespace:

class Card : public CppLists::Node
{
    // ... etc
