Thread: class methods to cout stream

I have a class method that outputs a string to cout and am getting an error message for it, Im having trouble finding info on how (or if) class methods can output strings to cout.

Code:

cout << applicant2.GetName();

//this is the get method
string DateProfile::GetName()
{
   return name;
}

//this is the set method
void DateProfile::SetName(string inClassName)
{
   name = inClassName;
}

//this is where the set method gets its value
applicant2.SetName("Jane");

So what is going wrong?
