error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion...

I have some C++ code I am working on that receives the following compilation error:

Code:

---

game.cpp:29:11: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token
 Game::Game(date, true, boxCount)

---

I cannot seem to find the reason this is occurring, because this is how a constructor is supposed to be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


box.h

Code:

---

#ifndef BOX_H
#define BOX_H
#include <string>

class Box
{
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& o, const Box& b);
    friend bool operator<(const int i, const Box& b);
    friend bool operator==(const int i, const Box& b);
    friend int operator+(const int i, const Box& b);
    public:
        Box(std::string d, bool f, int bc);
        bool operator<(const Box& b) const;
    protected:
        std::string date;
        int productCount;
        int boxCount;
        bool isFull;

---

box.cpp

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "box.h"
using namespace std;

Box::Box(string d, bool f, int bc)
    :date(d)
    ,boxCount(bc)
    ,productCount()
    ,isFull(f)
{

}

ostream& operator<<(ostream& o, const Box& b)
{
    return o << "Box[" << b.productCount << "]";
}
bool operator<(const int i, const Box& b)
{
    return i < b.productCount;
}

bool operator==(const int i, const Box& b)  {
    return i == b.productCount;
}

int operator+(const int i, const Box& b)    {
    return i + b.productCount;
}

bool Box::operator<(const Box& b) const
{
    return productCount < b.productCount;
}

game.h

Code:

---

#ifndef GAME_H
#define GAME_H
#include <string>
#include "box.h"

class Game : public Box
{
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& o, const Game& b);
    friend bool operator<(const int i, const Game& b);
    friend bool operator==(const int i, const Game& b);
    friend int operator+(const int i, const Game& b);
    public:
        Game(std::string, bool, int);
};

#endif

---

game.cpp

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "game.h"
#include "box.h"
using namespace std;

Game::Game(date, true, boxCount)
    :Box(date, true, boxCount)
    ,productCount(6)
{

}

---

You forgot that the parameter list in a function definition specifies the parameter types too. Also, instead of the value true, you would need to provide the parameter name, e.g.,

Code:

---

Game::Game(std::string date, bool f, int boxCount)
    :Box(date, f, boxCount)
    ,productCount(6)
{

}

I don't think it makes sense to compare a Box to an integer.
