Thread: Need help with one error in my code

I have this one last error in my code. Could someone please help me? Here is my code:

//Implementation file for CarFacts application

#include <iostream.h>
#include "vehicle.h" // [The error highlights this line but I switched the qoutes to "<>" and it still doesn't work]

int main()
{
char firstName[20], lastName[20];
cout << "Please input your first and last name.\n";
cin >> firstName >> lastName;
cout << firstName << " , welcome to the RJ CarFacts database.\n\n";
cout << "The database will allow you to acquire vehicle info based on specs you define.\n";
}

The error is:

c:\dev-c++\vehicle.h:3 unterminated '#if" conditional


The header file is:

// header file - vehicle
#include<iostream.h>
#ifndef VEHICLE_H
#define VEHICLE_H

class vehicle //base class declaration
{

private:
int itsDoors;
int itsCylinders;
int itsEngineSize;
int itsWheels;
float wheelWeight;

};

void InputCarInfo (vehicle buildCar)
{
cout << "How many doors would you like.\n";
cin >> buildCar.itsDoors;
cout << "How many cylinders do you want\n";
cin >> buildCar.itsCylinders;
cout << "How many wheels do you need on the vehicle\n\n";
cin >> buildCar.itsWheels;
}

void DisplayCarInfo (vehicle yourCar)
{
cout << "The vehicle you built has " << yourCar.itsDoors << " doors, " << yourCar.itsCylinders << " cylinders, and " << yourCar.itsWheels << " wheels.\n";
}

> #ifndef VEHICLE_H
You've got this at the start of the file

So you need
#endif
at the end of the file.

Later on, you will want to move those functions into vehicle.cpp

I tried as you suggested but to no avail, I still got the same error. I do really appreciate all the help, though. Is there any other possible solutions for this error?

Again, appreciate any feedback you have.

> I tried as you suggested but to no avail,
You put a
&nbsp; #endif
at the end of your .h file and got the same error

You did save the file didn't you?

I would suggest you use the board 'attach file' feature and upload vehicle.h.

When replying is says I cannot upload attachment so I will use a new thread to do this.

Code:

#include<iostream.h> 
#ifndef VEHICLE_H 
#define VEHICLE_H 

class vehicle //base class declaration 
{ 

private: 
int itsDoors; 
int itsCylinders; 
int itsEngineSize; 
int itsWheels; 
float wheelWeight; 

}; 

void InputCarInfo (vehicle buildCar) 
{ 
cout << "How many doors would you like.\n"; 
cin >> buildCar.itsDoors; 
cout << "How many cylinders do you want\n"; 
cin >> buildCar.itsCylinders; 
cout << "How many wheels do you need on the vehicle\n\n"; 
cin >> buildCar.itsWheels; 
} 

void DisplayCarInfo (vehicle yourCar) 
{ 
cout << "The vehicle you built has " << yourCar.itsDoors << " doors, " << yourCar.itsCylinders << " cylinders, and " << yourCar.itsWheels << " wheels.\n"; 
}

This cannot work properly because you are trying to use private data as if it were public.

for instance look at this line....

cin >> buildCar.itsDoors;

buildCar.itsDoors is private to the class so you have no access to it from outside of the class unless you make it public or add accessor/mutator functions to your class.
