Thread: I'm having trouble writing a class.

Okay, I have been learning about using classes, now I want to write my own.

I read how to do it in various textbooks and this is what I came up with:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

class Myclass
{
public:
  Myclass()
  {
    value = 0;
  }

  Myclass(int x)
  {
    vlaue = x;
  }
  
  void print()
  {
    cout<<value;
  }
  
  void set(int x)
  {
    value = x;
  }
private:
  int value;
};

void main()
{
  int number;
  Myclass test;
  test.print();
  cout<<"Enter a new value: ";
  cin>>number;
  test.set(number);
  test.print();
  cin.get();
}

Now I know the class definition is usually in a seperate file which is included, but it's meant to work like this too isn't it?

When I try to complile this code in Bloodshed Dev-C++ I get an error at the line

Code:

    value = 0;

telling me

9 h:\myclass.cpp `value' undeclared (first use this function)

What's wrong?
Am I totally ont he wrong track or is it just a typo or small syntax error?

Agreed.

Such as it is, it runs fine after that correction.

THANK YOU!

Oh, I tried this about 5 times!
In different places, with different code.

And EVERY time, it didn't work.
I really gotta be careful of those typso...

Don't think you'd be the frist...fsrit...first.
