header files

[jjg]

I have a program that was given to us from our teacher. I am having trouble compiling it. I keep getting an error during the compile. The error message says: The compiler could not find the named file. It stops on unable to open include file 'DATE.H'.

I am Using Borland C++ 5.02. I pasted the code below, hopefully it helps.

/**Date.cc implements Date class**/
#include <iostream>
#include "Date.h"
using namespace std;

Date::Date(unsigned m, unsigned d, unsigned y)
{
 month = m;
 day = d;
 year = y;
}

void Date::Display(ostream & out) const
{
 out <<month<<'-'<<day<<'-'<<year;
}

bool Date::operator<(const Date & dt) const
{
 if (year < dt.year)
  return true;
 else if (year == dt.year)
  {
   if (month < dt.month)
    return true;
   else if (month == dt.month)
    {
     if (day < dt.day)
      return true;
    }
  }
 return false;
}
/** Date.h -------------------------------------**/

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Date
{
/******** Member functions ********/
public:

Date();
Date(unsigned initMonth, unsigned initDay, unsigned initYear);
void Display(ostream & out) const; 
unsigned getMonth() {return month;}
unsigned getDay() {return day;}
unsigned getYear() {return year;}
void setMonth(unsigned m) {month = m;}
void setDay(unsigned d) {day = d;}
void setYear(unsigned y) {year = y;}
bool operator<(const Date & dt) const;

 

/********** Data Members **********/
private:
 unsigned month, day, year;

}; // end of class declaration

//----- Definition of default constructor
inline Date::Date()
{
 month = 1;
 day = 1;
 year = 2000;
}


/**Test Date.cc, Date.h**/
#include <iostream>
#include "Date.h"

void main()
{
 Date now, then;
 now.setMonth(9);
 now.setDay(1);
 now.setYear(2002);
 then.setMonth(11);
 then.setDay(15);
 then.setYear(1988);
 cout<<"\nIt is now ";
 now.Display(cout);
 cout<<endl;
 if (now < then)
  cout<<"\nNow is before then\n";
 else
  cout<<"\nNow is not before then\n";
}

You have this split into 3 separate files right?

This doesn't answer your question, but have a read of this one.

Also, void main is wrong, use int main and return 0; at the end.

>You have this split into 3 separate files right?
... in the same directory as each other....?
