Thread: Accessor Function

I have a simple program that asks a user for personal info (age, phone ...) and stores this info in the private memberspace.
Then the info is displayed and asks the user if this is correct and if to make changes, if so to what.

Part of my private looks like this

Code:

double set_new_age ();

In my main, I have this code

Code:

double new_age;
cin >> new_age;
Mike.set_new_age ();

and a function :

Code:

void Person::set_new_age (double new_age_p  ) 
    {
      age = new_age_p ; 
    }

I am getting 2 errors:

d:\docume~1\suchy\desktop\info~1.cpp:208: prototype for `void Person::set_new_age(double)' does not match any in class `Person'

d:\docume~1\suchy\desktop\info~1.cpp:19: candidate is: double Person::set_new_age()

What is the problem, I can't figure this out .

Your 'privates' should look like

Code:

double set_new_age(double);

And you should 'sleep with your mom' like

Code:

Mike.set_new_age(new_age);

You have to pass your 'age' to your 'mom'

>> Your 'privates' should look like
>> double set_new_age(double);

That's not how I would do it. There doesn't appear to be a reason to return anything from a set function.

Maybe the previous value it contained. (Floundering)
