Practice.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I just picked up two new c++ books and i wrote this little thing to practice using classes, as I just learned about them a few hours ago, and im getting that error message. Here is the source:

Code:

/*
THE GOAL HERE IS TO MAKE A CAR OUT OF CLASSES. GIVE IT A FEW METHODS, AND THEN USE THEM!
 */

class Car
{

public:
	Car(){cout<<"YOU HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR! THE TANK IS FULL!"<<endl;}
	~Car(){}
	int Drive() {cout<<"VROOM YOU DROVE 10 MILES!"<<endl; GasLeft=GasLeft-1; return(0);}
	void HonkHorn(){cout<<"HONK HONK! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!"<<endl;
private:
	int GasLeft=10;

};

int main()
{

Car MyCar;
cin.get();
system("cls");
MyCar.HonkHorn();
cin.get();
system("cls");
MyCar.Drive();

return(0);
  
}

Your braces aren't matching up, there is probably one missing. I'd look at the HonkHorn function.

BTW, better indentation and code formatting help reduce those kinds of errors.

This isn't going to work either:

int GasLeft=10;

Class member variables are initialized in a constructor.

Your code is a mess. Right now, it's more important to adopt a neat coding style than getting your program to compile. You are never going to figure out where your errors are with code as messy as that. In addition, if you want people to help you, your code has to be readable.

If the authors of your books wrote code like you posted, you wouldn't me able to understand any of their sample programs.

Here is an example of a format you might adopt:

Code:

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

class Apple
{ 
private:
	string color;

public:
	Apple(string c)  //constructor
	{
		color = c;
	}

	void show()
	{
		cout<<"My apple's color is: "<<color<<endl;
	}

};

int main()
{
	Apple myApple("red");
	myApple.show();

	return 0;
}

Code:

/*
THE GOAL HERE IS TO MAKE A CAR OUT OF CLASSES. GIVE IT A FEW METHODS, AND THEN USE THEM!
 */

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//=========================================================================

class Car
{

public:

};

//==========================================================================

Car::Car(int GasLeft)

return(0);
}

It is because you define your constructor as car(int) and define it as car().

ok fixed that.

you need to define a default constructor.

Code:

public:
                Car(){}
	Car(int GasLeft);

ahh thanks.

this code works. How is the coding style now? any better?

Code:

/*

 */

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//=========================================================================

class Car
{

public:

	int Drive() ;
	void HonkHorn();
	void GasAlert();

};

{
	GasLeft=10; 
	cout<<"YOU HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR! THE TANK IS FULL!"<<endl;
}

{
}

//=========================================================================

int Car::Drive()
{
	cout<<"VROOM YOU DROVE 10 MILES!"<<endl; 
	GasLeft=GasLeft-1; 
	return(0);
}

//=========================================================================

void Car::HonkHorn()
{

	cout<<"HONK HONK! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!"<<endl;

}

//=========================================================================

void Car::GasAlert()
{

	cout<<"You Have " << GasLeft <<" gallons left."<<endl;

}

//=========================================================================

int main()
{

	Car MyCar;
	MyCar.GasAlert();
	cin.get();
	system("cls");

	MyCar.HonkHorn();
	cin.get();
	system("cls");

	MyCar.Drive();
	MyCar.GasAlert();

return(0);
}

100% better!

You can get rid of this stuff, unless you want to have it:

//==================

For experienced C++ programmers, it's unnecessary as far as code readability goes.

think the next step for you should be default parameters
