Hey guys, I am new to creating the 3 files (interface, application, and header) and can not figure out how to properly link test.ReportResult(); It needs an argument, and I have tried putting in (bool) (bool Result) and a couple of other things hoping I'd get lucky, but no dice. I can't find a specific example of this in my book, so if someone would be kind enough to help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Code is not polished up because it is still very much a work in progress, so the only thing I am asking about is the error code C2660. Thanks.

When BP::ReportResult(bool Result) is called, it wants the user of the class to pass in a value, which is then used by the member function to decide what to display. The problem you had was that (bool) and (bool Result) were not values. I think you'll figure it out if you remember what the possible values for bool types are.

The problem that I see, though, is that possibly the class member Result should be used instead of the parameter Result. Since both of these have the same name, C++ will always use the parameter because it is local to the function. I don't think that's what you want so you may as well delete the parameter to fix this problem and the first one.

whiteflags, true or false? I have tried both of those but am not having any luck. Result ends up having the correct value in it until it gets called from my runBP.cpp. I know it must be with my argument but am clueless as to what I should be passing through.

Code:

//bP.h

 
const int SYSTOLIC_LIMIT = 140;
const int DIASTOLIC_LIMIT = 90;
 
 
class BP
{
public:
      //BP();
    void GetPressure();
    void Average();
    bool Test();
    void ReportResult(bool result_par);
    void RunTest();     
private:
    int firstDiastolic, secondDiastolic, thirdDiastolic;
    int firstSystolic, secondSystolic, thirdSystolic;
    double sysAvg, diaAvg;
    bool result;
};

Code:

//bP.cpp 
#include "bP.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
     
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void BP::GetPressure()
    {        
     
    cout << "Please enter your Diastolic Pressure readings: ";
    cin >> firstDiastolic >> secondDiastolic >> thirdDiastolic;
    cout << "\nPlease enter your Systolic Pressure readings: ";
    cin >> firstSystolic >> secondSystolic >> thirdSystolic;
    cout << "Diastolic Pressure Readings: " << firstDiastolic << " " << secondDiastolic << " " << thirdDiastolic << endl;
    cout << "Systolic Pressure REadings: " << firstSystolic << " " << secondSystolic << " " << thirdSystolic << endl;
 
 
    }
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
void BP::Average()
{
    diaAvg = (firstDiastolic + secondDiastolic + thirdDiastolic) / 3;
    sysAvg = (firstSystolic + secondSystolic + thirdSystolic) / 3;
     
    cout << "Your average Diastolic Pressure is: " << diaAvg << endl;
    cout << "Your average Systolic Pressure is: " << sysAvg << endl;


    
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
bool BP::Test()
{
     
    //result = false;


    if ( diaAvg > DIASTOLIC_LIMIT || sysAvg > SYSTOLIC_LIMIT )
        result = true;
     
    return result;  //[result is filled with a value at this point]
 
 
 
 
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
void BP::ReportResult(bool result_par)
{
    if ( result_par == true )
        cout << "Your blood pressure is too high, you should see your doctor!\n";
    else
        cout << "Your blood pressure is not too high, congratulations!  I recommend you get rechecked in 6 months.\n";
 
 
}
 
 
void BP::RunTest()
{
 
 
}

Code:

//runBP.cpp

#include "bP.h"






int main()
{
    bool result = false;
    BP test;
    test.GetPressure();
    test.Average();
    test.Test();
    test.ReportResult(result);  /*[this is where I am having my disconnect, result empties out to 0 at this point and I don't know why]*/
    
    return 0;




}

Can anyone shed some light as to why test.ReportResult(result) sends in an empty value? I have monitored the value step by step and if the averages are above the limits I set then result == true, but when result is returned to main the value resets to zero. Can anyone inform me on what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks
