Thread: Can't figure out compiler message so I can move on

    Unhappy Can't figure out compiler message so I can move on

    Below is a copy of my code but the two error messages are:
    1. base class 'Employee' has an incomplete type
    2. parse error at input

    Plus having trouble figuring out error messages which can't move on until I do.


    Here are the requirements - design a base class name Employee and have it keep the following info in member variables:
    Employee name
    Social Sec # format xxx-xx-xxxx with each digit in 0-9 range
    employee number in format of xxx-L with L in range of A-M
    Hire date.

    add a const. and dest. and other member functions to class. const. should allocate enough memory to hold name.

    Next add new class named EmployeePay derived from Employee class with following variables - Annual Pay, Monthly Pay Dependents.

    Please help. Even getting solving the current error messages will help me get on with it.

    Thanks to all.

    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <iomanip.h>

    class Employee
    {
    protected:
    char EmployeeName;
    char SSNum[12];
    char EmpNum[6];
    int HireDate;

    public:
    Employee(void) { EmployeeName = new name[25]; }
    ~Employee(void) { delete [] EmployeeName;}
    void setName(char n)
    { strcpy(name, n); }
    void setSSNum(char i)
    { strcpy(SSNum, i); }
    void setEmpNum(char e)
    { strcpy(EmpNum, e); }
    void setHireDate(int h) { HireDate = h; }
    float getName(void) { return name[]; }
    float getSSNum(void) { return SSNum[]; }
    float getEmpNum(void) { return EmpNum[]; }
    int getHireDate(void) { return HireDate
    };

    class EmployeePay : public Employee
    {

    void setAnnualPay(float p) { AnnualPay = p; }
    void setMonthlyPay(float m) { MonthlyPay = m; }
    int setDependents(int d) { Dependents = d; }
    float getAnnualPay(void) { return AnnualPay; }
    float getMonthlyPay(void) { return MonthlyPay; }
    int getDependents(void) { return Dependents; }
    };

    PerInfo.setSSNum(SSNum);

    PerInfo.setEmpNum(EmpNum);
    cin.getline(HireDate, 9);
    PerInfo.setHireDate(HireDate);

    PayInfo.setAnnualPay(AnnualPay);

    PayInfo.setMonthlyPay(MonthlyPay);

    PayInfo.setDependents(Dependents);
    cout << "Name: " << PerInfo.getName();
    cout << "Social Security Number: " << PerInfo.getSSNum();
    cout << "Employee #: " << PerInfo.getEmpNum();
    cout << "Hire Date: " << PerInfo.getHireDate();
    cout << "Annual Pay: " << PayInfo.getAnnualPay();
    cout << "Monthly Pay: " << PayInfo.getMonthlyPay();
    cout << "# of Dependents: " << PayInfo.getMonthlyPay();

    int getHireDate(void) { return HireDate

    The at the end of that line suggests you have a ")" instead of a "}". That could be an issue.
