Thread: I am having problems compiling and running this program

insert

Code:

#ifndef EMPLOYEE_TYPE_FLAG
#define EMPLOYEE_TYPE_FLAG

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;



struct employee_type
{
    char ssn[10];
 
 
    employee_type()
    {
        ssn[0]='\0';
    }

    bool operator > (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) >0;
    }
    bool operator < (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) <0;
    }
      bool operator >= (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) >=0;
    }
    
      bool operator <= (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) <=0;
    }
      bool operator != (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) !=0;
    }

    employee_type &operator = (employee_type &e)
    {
        strncpy(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10);
        return *this;
    }

    friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &os, employee_type &e)
    {
        os<<e.ssn<<'\n';
        return os;
    }
    
int main()
{
cout << "Test" << endl;
}
};
#endif

This is the code i am getting this error:
ld returned 1 exit status
[Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Thanks. But im still getting the same error. I commented out the other headers. This is what I have:

Code:

//#ifndef EMPLOYEE_TYPE_FLAG
//#define EMPLOYEE_TYPE_FLAG

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;



struct employee_type
{
    char ssn[10];
 
 
    employee_type()
    {
        ssn[0]='\0';
    }

    bool operator > (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) >0;
    }
    bool operator < (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) <0;
    }
      bool operator >= (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) >=0;
    }
    
      bool operator <= (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) <=0;
    }
      bool operator != (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) !=0;
    }

    employee_type &operator = (employee_type &e)
    {
        strncpy(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10);
        return *this;
    }

    friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &os, employee_type &e)
    {
        os<<e.ssn<<'\n';
        return os;
    }
    

};
//#endif

I am getting the same error. Any reason why?

You need to have a main function, in order to have a program.

What should or could I put in the main function

Your previous main function was fine. It just needs to be there, not part of your employee struct.

Code:

//#ifndef EMPLOYEE_TYPE_FLAG
//#define EMPLOYEE_TYPE_FLAG

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;



struct employee_type
{
    char ssn[10];
 
 
    employee_type()
    {
        ssn[0]='\0';
    }

    bool operator > (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) >0;
    }
    bool operator < (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) <0;
    }
      bool operator >= (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) >=0;
    }
    
      bool operator <= (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) <=0;
    }
      bool operator != (employee_type &e)
    {
        return strncmp(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10) !=0;
    }

    employee_type &operator = (employee_type &e)
    {
        strncpy(this->ssn, e.ssn, 10);
        return *this;
    }

    friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &os, employee_type &e)
    {
        os<<e.ssn<<'\n';
        return os;
    }
    int main()
{
cout << "Test" << endl;
}

};
//#endif

I have that now. And still getting the same error. hmm

It's still inside the struct definition. Put it after the closing brace.

Now it compiled. Thanks alot. I am now asked to write a drivers program for it. I have never written one before but this is what I have. I do not believe I am doing it right. Can anyone verify or tell me what I need to do/change.

Code:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
    
    int e1=1111; 
    int e2=2222;
    
    if (e1 > e2)
    cout << "Good" << endl;
    else 
    {
         cout << "Bad" << endl;
    }
    cout << "-------------------------------------" << endl << endl;
    
    if (e1 < e2)
    cout << "Good" << endl;
    else 
    {
         cout << "Bad" << endl;
    }
    cout << "-------------------------------------" << endl << endl;
    
    if (e1 >= e2)
    cout << "Good" << endl;
    else 
    {
         cout << "Bad" << endl;
    }
    cout << "-------------------------------------" << endl << endl;
    
    if (e1 <= e2)
    cout << "Good" << endl;
    else 
    {
         cout << "Bad" << endl;
    }
    cout << "-------------------------------------" << endl << endl;
    
    if (e1 != e2)
    cout << "Good" << endl;
    else 
    {
         cout << "Bad" << endl;
    }
     cout << "-------------------------------------" << endl << endl;
    
    if (e1 == e2)
    cout << "Good" << endl;
    else 
    {
         cout << "Bad" << endl;
    }
     cout << "-------------------------------------" << endl << endl;
    
    
    


system("pause");

return 0;
}

>> I am now asked to write a drivers program for it.

A driver program is a program that takes the struct or class you have (in this case it would be the employee_type struct) and uses the functions provided by the struct to show that they work.

Your attempt at a driver program does not use the struct. Change it to use the struct.
