#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include "Account.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        Account account1;
    Account account2;
        cout <<"\n Current Balance for account1 is " << account1.getBalance();
        cout <<"\n Current Balance for account2 is " << account2.getBalance();

        int amount1, amount2;

        cin >> amount1 >> amount2;

        account1.credit(amount1);
        account2.credit(amount2);

        cout <<"\n Current Balance for account1 is " << account1.getBalance();
        cout <<"\n Current Balance for account2 is " << account2.getBalance();

        int amountw1, amountw2;

        account1.debit(amountw1);
        account1.debit(amountw2);

        cout <<"\n Current Balance for account1 is " << account1.getBalance();
        cout <<"\n Current Balance for account2 is " << account2.getBalance();

        return 0;
}

account.h

Class definition and function prototypes

Code:

---


#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

// class Account definition
class Account
{
public:
        Account( int balance ); // constructor
        void credit( int add_amount ); // function that add an amount to the current balance
        void debit( int withdraw_amount ); // function that withdraw money from the Account
    int getBalance(); // function that returns the the current balance
private:
        int account_balance; // stores the current balance
};

---

account.cpp

Class member function definition

Code:

---

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

#include "Account.h" // include definition of class Account

// constructor
Account::Account( int balance )
{
        if ( balance >= 0 ) // if the balance is greater than or equals to 0
        {
                balance = account_balance;
        }

        else {
                balance = 0;
                cout << "\n INITIAL BALANCE WAS INVALID"
                        "\nBalance is set to 0";
        }
}

void Account::credit( int add_amount )
{
        account_balance += add_amount;
}

void Account::debit( int withdraw_amount )
{
        if ( withdraw_amount < account_balance ) {
                account_balance -= withdraw_amount;
        }

        else {
                cout << "\nDebit amount exceeded account balance.";
        }
}

int Account::getBalance()
{
        return account_balance;
}

and when i Compile I get these errors

FILE: accountp.cpp LINE: 11 MESSAGE: error: no matching function for call to `Account::Account()'

FILE: Account.h LINE: 9 MESSAGE:note: candidates are: Account::Account(const Account&)

FILE: Account.h LINE: 11 MESSAGE:note: Account::Account(int)

FILE: accountp.cpp LINE: 12 MESSAGE: error: no matching function for call to `Account::Account()'

FILE: Account.h LINE: 9 MESSAGE: note: candidates are: Account::Account(const Account&)

FILE: Account.h LINE: 11 MESSAGE:note: Account::Account(int)

Basically, you use the default constructor but did not define it.

how did I use the default constructor

I defined my own constructor

Code:

---

Account( int balance ); // constructor

On line 11, according to the message. If I'm counting lines correctly, that was the line

Code:

---

Account account1;

---

Since you only defined a constructor that takes an int, you need to supply an int rather than supply nothing at all.

oh thanks lol

so I should first get input from the user and than supply it to the constructor

sorry sorry for that silly mistake

and thanks thanks thanks for your help so soon thanks

Code:

---

        int amountw1, amountw2;

        account1.debit(amountw1);
        account1.debit(amountw2);

---

Uninitialized variables used.

oh yeah thanks for spotting this mistake too

thanks
