Forbids Declaration of '___' with no type

I'm getting this error, "Forbids Declaration of '___' with no type", for just about every function I have in my class and I have no idea what's wrong. Can any of you help me understand what's happening? I can elaborate more if needed.

It's also telling me that a few of my operators can not be overloaded. I'm just declaring them like this:

Code:

---

Object operator[](int);

Have you specified the return value types of all your methods? You can't leave that out. If a method returns nothing, it must be declared return type "void."

In my header file:

Code:

---

int & operator[](int);

---

In my .cpp file:

Code:

---

Object::operator[](int index){
    ....
    return &temp[0][0];
}

---

And that's how I have it set up.

two things:

Code:

---

int & Object::operator[](int index){
//...
}

---

Also, you're returning a pointer, when you should be returning a reference (the compiler will complain when you fix the other errors).

I don't get it. In the header I already stated what it was going to return. So I have to do it in both files?

yes - declaration should exactly match the definition of the function...
The only thing you can skip in declaration - is var names, the rest - return type and var types should be the same
