    Based on what Stoned said, this should work:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Person;
    void results(Person &P);
    the prototype results gets confused when you declare that its going to have an arguement of a class that isnt defined, or prototyped.

    It works for me, that was in reply to your original code that you couldnt get to work.. that why it wasnt working. Stoned pointed out correctly that your forgot the argument in results() prototype, but you also forgot to prototype the class since the results prototype requires it as its argument. Full code:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Person;
    void results(Person &P);
    
    class Person {
    	public:
    		Person();
    		~Person();
    		string name;
    		int age;
    		string hobby;
    		int siblings;
    };
    
    Person::Person() {
    	cout<<"Constructor started... "<<endl;
    }
    
    Person::~Person() {
    	cout<<"YOU KILLED IT!!! "<<endl;
    }
    
    int main() {
    	Person Perso;
    	
    	cout<<"Whats your name? ";
    	cin>>Perso.name;
    	cin.get();
    	cout<<"How old are you? ";
    	cin>>Perso.age;
    	cin.get();
    	cout<<"Whats your hobby? ";
    	cin>>Perso.hobby;
    	cin.get();
    	cout<<"How many siblings do you have? ";
    	cin>>Perso.siblings;
    	cin.get();
    	results(Perso);
    }
    
    void results(Person &P) {
    	cout<<"Your name is: "<<P.name<<". "<<endl;
    	cout<<"You are "<<P.age<<" years old. "<<endl;
    	cout<<"Your hobby is "<<P.hobby<<". "<<endl;
    	cout<<"You have "<<P.siblings<<" siblings. "<<endl;
    }

    Well you spilled water on yours and broke it. Of course she's going to say no!

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
