    Problem with argument list

    I am trying to learn how to build a class and I am having trouble. My simple program reads in a fraction, and inverts it. I will do much more with it later if I can get past this problem. Currently I have two warnings, one about missing an argument list, and the other about using frac1 without it being initialized. I've banged my head on this for 2 days now, so I think it is time I ask for some help. Here is the code...
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    char oper;
    
    class SingleFraction
    {
    public:
    	void getFrac(SingleFraction ff1)
    	{
    		char misc;
    		cin >> num >> misc >> den >> oper;
    	}
    	void invert(SingleFraction ff1)
    	{
    		num = ff1.den;
    		den = ff1.num;
    	}
    	void display()
    	{
    		cout << num << '/' << den;
    	}
    private:
    	int num, den;
    };
    
    int main()
    {
    	SingleFraction frac1, fracAns;
    	char choice = 99;
    
    	while (choice != 'n' && choice != 'N')
    	{
    		cout << "Enter a fraction and operator: ";
    		frac1.getFrac;   // warning here about missing argument list
    		switch(oper)
    		{
    		case 'i': fracAns.invert(frac1); break;  // warning here about frac1 not being initialized
    		//default: cout << "Illegal operator.";
    			continue;
    		}
    		fracAns.display();
    		cout << "Answer = "; fracAns.display();
    		cout << "\nAgain(y/n)?: "; cin >> choice;
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
    Semper Fi!

    try some thing more like this:

    fracClass.h
    Code:
    #ifndef _fracClass_h_
    #define _fracClass_h_
    
    class SingleFraction
    {
    public:
    	void getFrac();
    	void invert();
    	void display();
    	char retOper()
    private:
    	int num, den;
    	char oper;
    };
    
    #endif
    fracClass.cpp
    Code:
    #include "fracClass.h"
    
    void singleFraction::getFrac()
    {
    	char misc;
    	cin >> num >> misc >> den >>oper;
    }
    void SingleFrac::invert()
    {
                    int temp=num;
    	num = den;
    	den = temp;
    }
    void SingleFrac::display()
    {
    	cout << num << '/' << den;
    }
    char SingleFrac::retOper()
    { return oper; }
    main.cpp
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include "fracClass.h"
    
    int main()
    {
    	SingleFraction frac1, fracAns;
    	char choice = 99;
    
    	while (choice != 'n' && choice != 'N')
    	{
    		cout << "Enter a fraction and operator: ";
    		frac1.getFrac;   // warning here about missing argument list
    		switch(frac1.oper)
    		{
    		case 'i': fracAns.invert(frac1); break;  // warning here about frac1 not being initialized
    		//default: cout << "Illegal operator.";
    			continue;
    		}
    		fracAns.display();
    		cout << "Answer = "; fracAns.display();
    		cout << "\nAgain(y/n)?: "; cin >> choice;
    	}
    	return 0;
    }
