C++ code need help to fix

Hi all, I am newcomer of C++. I got two tiny nasty C++ code to fix, but I can't fix all the syntax errors. Could anybody fix that for me please?

Thanks in advance!

Codes as below:

Code:

---

#include <Vector>
using namespace std;
class nasty
{
public:
int x(int h)
{
return h+1;
}

vector<double> v;
int f (rabbit)
{
int *a = new int();
int b = 3;
*a = 3;
int &c = *a;
string s;
nasty blogs = new nasty;
b = blogs.x(3);
}
}

---

and the other one is:

Code:

---

#include <string>
class cls
{
public int g(int h)
{
return h+1;
}
}

int f (alice)
{
int *a = new int();
int b = 3;
a = 3;
int &c = *a;
string s = "Hello";
cls cc = new cls();
b = cc.g(3);
}

---

If syntax errors were so easy to fix, the compilers could do it automatically. The reason compilers don't automatically correct errors is because there's no way for the compiler to understand what the heck you're trying to write since it's not valid C++.

> int f (rabbit)
What type of rabbit ?

I know the type is missed in int f (rabbit), but I am not sure what type I should add. Can anyone help?

Well, since you don't actually use rabbit in that function, I'm thinking you don't need it in the first place. Also, you need semicolons after the end braces of classes and in-class method definitions.

Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed the code as below:

Code:

---

#include <string>
class cls
{
        public int g(int h)
        {
                return h+1;
        }
};

int f ()
{
        int *a = new int();
        int b = 3;
        a = &b;
        int &c = *a;
        char s[10] = "Hello";
        cls cc;
        b = cc.g(3);
}

---

but the compiler said "nasty.cpp:4: error: expected `:' before "int" ". When I change line 4 to public :int g(int h), it compiled. Why?

>When I change line 4 to public :int g(int h), it compiled. Why?

That's just the rules of the game. It'd probably make more sense if you wrote it like this:

Code:

---

class cls
{
public:

        int g(int h)
        {
                return h+1;
        }
};

Because c++ syntax requires that.
Access specifiers don't apply to single functions or member variables in c++. They apply to to everything that follows until another access specifier is parsed.

Ahaaa, now I got it. Thanks all for both quick replies and kindness!!!

McReal, I am really curious to know whether you get this code from a classmate.
