Spotting the error...

For the life of me I can't spot any error in this piece of code, i've started a small piece, so I compiled it to check if it was all good. But it comes out with an error

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

class employee
{
        private:
                int number;
                float salary;
                string fname;
                string lname;

        public:
                employee(int num, float sal, string first, string last);
                employee();
                ~employee();

                int getnumber();
                float getsalary();
                string getfname();
                string getlname();

                void setfname(string newfname);
                void setlname(string newlname);
};

employee::employee(int num, float sal, string first, string last)
{
        num = 0;
        sal = 0.00;
        first = "Default";
        last = "Default";
}

employee::~employee()
{}

int employee::getnumber()
{
        return number;
}

float employee::getsalary()
{
        return salary;
}

string employee::getfname()
{
        return fname;
}

string employee::getlname()
{
        return lname;
}

void employee::setfname(string newfname)
{
        fname = newfname;
}

void employee::setlname(string newlname)
{
        lname = newlname;
}

void main()
{
        employee List[2];

        int Number = 0;
        float Salary = 0;
        string firstName = "Default";
        string lastName = "Default";
}

If anyone could hint me towards the solution that'd be great...thanks

The Employee constructor without parameters is declared to exist, used by main, but doesn't exist... That's what it's complaining about.

You did not define a default constructor, and yet you default construct two employee objects on this line:

Code:

---

employee List[2];

---

Normally, the compiler will define a default constructor if it is required and yet not provided, but here that does not happen since you declared some other constructor.

Many thanks
