Thread: Starting to get aggrivated with classes....

It shouldn't. You forgot to #include <cstdio>.

It does, and no, I didn't forget.

getchar( ) is defined in <cstdio>, not <iostream>.

Ok, i think i did this right, but it won't compile. Ill post the code and the compiler errors.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream.h>

class workingclass
{
 public:
 workingclass();
 ~workingclass();
};

workingclass()
{
cout<<"stuff";
}
~workingclass()
{
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 
 
 
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

And the errors i get....

Code:

12 C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\main.cpp
parse error before `('

17 C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\main.cpp
destructors must be member functions

 C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Makefile.win
[Build Error]  [main.o] Error 1

Almost there.

1)Don't use header files with .h extensions. Use the equivalent header names found here:

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/ansi/hfiles.html

2)Add a using declaration after your includes, like

using namespace std;

3)For short functions you should just define them inside the class. If you do define a function outside the class, it must be qualified with the class name, so that the compiler knows what class the definition belongs to, like this:

Code:

workingclass::workingclass()
{
   cout<<"stuff";
}

Just add "workingclass::" in front of any function you define outside of your class. Also, if you had a function with a return type of int, this is what the format would look if you defined it outside the class:

Code:

int workingclass::my_function()
{
    .....
    return 50;
}

The return type goes all the way to the left.

4)Unless you're going to be using arguments entered on the command line(which I assume you aren't) use the following format for main():

Code:

int main()
{
   ....
   ....
   return 0;
}

It's much easier to type.

I have to use .h, thats why i do that. Someone esle already told me that above.

You have to? Who says so? You are already using one non-h header (<iostream>), so you can use all others too.

When i delete off the .h, i get compiler errors. Does it really make a difference anyways?

Also, what excactly does "using namespace std;" or whatever it was, do?

Ok, update, scratch that compiler error stuff with the .h. I didnt know that it was written different in C++.
