Thread: Classes:

I am having a hard time with classes. What is going on with this code. It has errors all over it.

Code:

 #include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class addressBook {
    
public:
   explicit addressBook(string streetaddy, string phoneNumber)
    : street(streetaddy) 
    : phone (phoneNumber)
    {
    
    }
    
    void Address(string streetAddy)
    {
        street = streetAddy;
    }
    
    void PhoneNum(string phoneNumber)
    {
        phone = phoneNumber;
    }
    string getPhoneNum() const
    {
        return phone;
    }
    string getAddress() const
    {
        return street;
    }
    void displayAddressBook()
    {
    
    }
private:
    string street;
    string phone;
};



int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    addressBook address1("New York Way", "555-555-5554");
    addressBook address2("New Jersey Bld","678-979-9999");
    
    cout << "The first address is:"<<addressBook1.getAddress<<"\n"<< addressBook1.getPhoneNum<<endl;
    
    return 0;
}

What might the error messages be?

line 10,11 - you need to remove string -

Code:

: street(streetaddy),phone (phoneNumber)

and use : only once, after that only ,

line 49 - there is function call but missing ()

Code:

addressBook1.getAddress()

address1 and addressBook1 are different names.

why do you have a class called "addressBook" that only stores one address? it may be a minor point, but on this forum, we like to emphasize the idea of naming things in ways that properly represent them. often this gets applied to things like single-letter variable names, but I think this case should also be addressed. in the real world, an address book can contain many addresses. if you plan to do this as a career someday, it would be good to keep this sort of thing in mind.
