help me in this!!!!

hi can anyone solve this errors?

code

Code:

class defGeomtry:public defFile{
public:

	std::map<std::string, tag_t> objectNameTag;

	void populateGeometry(void);

	static tag_t createSplineThruPoints(struct Section);

	static struct SectionformSection(struct Section Section1,struct Section Section2);
	
	static struct SectionxtractPoints(struct Section Section1,int FromPoint, int ToPoint);

};

errrors:

Did you read the reply I posted to another of your similar questions?

Code:

static struct SectionxtractPoints(struct Section Section1,int FromPoint, int ToPoint);

You are saying that you want to return a struct from a function, but not WHAT struct it is. This is like saying to a driver turn right on ... without telling them which road to turn right onto - no meaning in that.

The other errors are most likely just consequential errors based on the compiler being "lost" after having tried to make a right turn without knowing quite where to turn right...

Edit: This is your previous thread, with identical problem: whats wrong in this!!!!

Thanks I Will Try It!

can you please telll what strcture type means? isnt it is sufficient to just say struct?

No - in fact in C++ it's the other way around, the word struct is optional, but you NEED to give the name of the struct, e.g.

Code:

struct Section {
   // your stuff goes here  
};

Section someFunction(// some parameters) ;

should work just fine.

How is the compiler going to know WHICH of your potentially many structs that you want to use?

Can I make a comment on your style as well:

Code:

	void populateGeometry(void);

	static tag_t createSplineThruPoints(struct Section);

	static struct SectionformSection(struct Section Section1,struct Section Section2);
	
	static struct SectionxtractPoints(struct Section Section1,int FromPoint, int ToPoint);

Some of your functions begin with upper (blue) case, other functions start with lower case (red), and then you mix upper and lower case for the next words in the function name (green). I would also prefer correct spelling of "extract", rather than "xtract" - it's bound to confuse people with that sort of naming convention. Confused programmers make mistakes more often than those that are not confused. Consistancy reduces the chance of someone being confused.

thanks for all of your comments , i will follow it!!!

but can you please give me syntax of function declaration which returns strcture?

I just did, "SomeFunction" returns a struct of type Section.

thanks!! but its not working!!!

Sorry, I'm not a very good telepath - you will have to actually show the code you're working on and what the error message are [or whatever the symptoms of "it's not working" is].

hi this is the code, i have created object of strcture section as sec1 :
code:

Code:

class defGeomtry:public defFile{
public:
	std::map<std::string, tag_t> objectNameTag;
	void populateGeometry(void);
	static tag_t createSplineThruPoints(struct Section);
	static sec1 formSection(struct Section Section1,struct Section Section2);	
};

What do you mean when you say that you have created an object of structure Section as sec1? Do you mean you have

Code:

Section sec1;

somewhere? That makes sec1 a variable of type Section, but it does not make sec1 into a type.

If you want to return a Section, return a Section:

Code:

static Section formSection(struct Section Section1, struct Section Section2);

So where is your struct sec1 declaration?

You have "struct Section" in the parameters, do you perhaps mean to use "Section" as the return type too, or is "sec1" a different struct?

sec1 is declared in other headerfile...

Code:

struct Section{
	char Name[256];
	int NumberOfPoints;
	std::vector <struct point> Points;
}sec1,sec2;

But sec1 is a variable, not a structure. This is the same as saying

Code:

int x;

x func(int z)
{
}

Guess what, that won't work!

Right, so that makes sec1 a variable, not a type. You wouldn't do

Code:

int i;
i addThings(int a, int b);

would you? You would declare addThings as returning an int (a type, not a variable).
