Thread: Problem with classes

i have a class and it has these functions in it

Code:

void Modify(string member, int dat);
void Modify(string member, BITMAP *bmp);
int Access(string member);

and i get these errors

Code:

5 C:\Temp\Adam\linkedlist\main.cpp In file included from main.cpp 
19 C:\Temp\Adam\linkedlist\SpriteHandler.h variable or field `Modify' declared void 
19 C:\Temp\Adam\linkedlist\SpriteHandler.h expected `;' before '(' token 
20 C:\Temp\Adam\linkedlist\SpriteHandler.h variable or field `Modify' declared void 
20 C:\Temp\Adam\linkedlist\SpriteHandler.h expected `;' before '(' token 
21 C:\Temp\Adam\linkedlist\SpriteHandler.h expected `;' before '(' token

the best i can come up with is the computer thinks that they are variables and not functions but i dont know how to change this

Post your whole class.

Code:

//class for a sprite handler that uses linked list
#ifndef SPRITEHANDLER_H
#define SPRITEHANDLER_H

#include <string>
#include <allegro.h>
#include <iostream>

class SpriteHandler
{
    public:
        SpriteHandler();
        ~SpriteHandler();
        
        int Length();
        bool Empty() const;
        bool AtEnd();
        
        void Modify(string member, int dat);
        void Modify(string member, BITMAP *bmp);
        int Access(string member);
        void First();
        void Next();
        void Insert(const int &dat);/*,const int x, const int y, const int ...*/
        void Update();
        void Bounce();
        void Move();

    private:
        struct node;
		typedef node *node_ptr;
		struct node
		{
		    BITMAP *sprite;
			int data;
			int x,y;
			int width, height;
			int xspeed, yspeed;
			int xdelay, ydelay;
			int xcount, ycount;
			int curframe, maxframe, animdir;
			int framecount, framedelay;
			node *next;
		};    
		
		node_ptr myFirst, myCurrent, myPrevious;
		int Size;
		
		node_ptr GetNode(const int &dat);

};    

#endif

		node_ptr GetNode(const int &dat);

};    

#endif

if you want the functions too i can add them but i get the same errors when they are commented out and when they arrent

add the scope operator to string... std::string.

Just add:

using namespace std;

after any #includes in your files. The functions contained in the header files, as well as the string type that is defined in <string>, need to be qualified by their namespace name: std.

i cant believe it is something that simple thanks alot though.
