Program 2, Object Not Seeing It Self

LoSTimberWolf · Post by **LoSTimberWolf** » Wed Feb 05, 2003 10:05 pm

Ok, I have done almost every thing I can figure out, but no matter what I do, they object does not see the functions within itself. I have set it up that one function is called from the main and then the rest is called from that function. *EDIT* Latest and greatest coding after help from Gambit, still no work. Here is what C++ tells me: : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier '_empName' : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '_empName' : error C2501: '_empName' : missing storage-class or type specifiers : warning C4518: 'char ' : storage-class or type specifier(s) unexpected here; ignored : error C2059: syntax error : '[' : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file foundError executing cl.exe. My teacher still asks for a "class level function", what ever that is. To make this post longer, her is the object (note: I was not given a main this time): #ifndef EMPLOYEE_H #define EMPLOYEE_H //Object created named Employee class employee { &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp private: &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp //class variables &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp char empName[11];

Oh, and here is the main if you want to look at that too: void main () { double totalPay = 0; employee Staff[] = { employee("Able Smith", "hourly"), employee("Lois Smith", "sales"), employee("Elton Smith", "salary", 0), employee("Bubba Smith", "hourly"), employee("Janet Smith", "sales"), employee("Frank Smith", "salary", 0)}; for (int count = 0; count < 6; count++) &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp { &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Staff[count].employee; &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp totalPay += Staff[count].getPayType(); &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp } cout << endl; cout << "Total weekly pay: " << totalPay << endl; } -LoS-TimberWolf{FF} Vehicle Specilist

Well, for one thing, your function names don't have "employee::" in front of them, meaning they won't be created as methods of the class and can't see the class's variables. Gotta stop forgetting those, d00d. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> The very first error message you get is because of your attempt to overload the default constructor. The declarative syntax you've used is odd; I'll have to check out the specifics later but for now you could try leaving off the declarations for the constructors and just defining them down with the rest of the functions as public employee::employee() {...code here...} It may just be that it chokes on seeing a declaration for the default constructor (you don't need that because every class is assumed to have one), and the declarations for the others are OK, but because of the original error it blows so many chunks later. Pascal and C compilers tend to do that, so you work from the top down when fixing bugs. This is all top-of-my-head without loading into a project. I'll do that later if these clues don't help. <img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/> XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.

That helped alot Gambit. This program is due tomarrow about 11am. After doing the correction, adding employee:: to the constructors and functions, there are 5 errors and 1 warning left. : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier '_empName' : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '_empName' : error C2501: '_empName' : missing storage-class or type specifiers : warning C4518: 'char ' : storage-class or type specifier(s) unexpected here; ignored : error C2059: syntax error : '[' : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found Error executing cl.exe. -LoS-TimberWolf{FF} Vehicle Specilist

11 am what time zone? k... char[] _empName is wrong isn't it? shouldn't it be... char _empName[] to make _empName a string? need a strcpy() to assign "John Doe" to empName in a constructor where are sales and hours defined? (they are used in a constructor) I don't see an 'employee' member of the employee class... so how does 'Staff[count].employee;' fit in? in 'employee::getPayType ()' you're missing some ')'s where in the world is aftCalcDisplay() declared or defined? that's all I noticed looking through it... GL COLORS!

11am Central Standard time. It depends were it that is written, such as prototypes. I have changed that to pointers now. There are strcpy()'s used to transfer the data into the Object. Sales and hours are function variables based off the variable input. Instead of having one veariable for each I decided to condence it some. I have removed Staff[count].employee which was to trigger the constructor, but did not. What do you mean that ')'s are missing? aftCalcDisplay() is now getCalcDisplay() and that is declared up in the object under private. I have it compiled and running, but there are still bugs in it. Got just over an hour left. Just so you can see what I have now, after getting some sleep myself: #ifndef EMPLOYEE_H #define EMPLOYEE_H //Object created named Employee class employee { &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp private: &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp //class variables &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp char empName[12];

Ok, down to less than an hour and one big bug is sitting onmy face. Everything works as they were designed to do, as far as I have been able to test. But one thing is being printed to the screen, getCalcDisply(), two times in a row when its only called once. Even though the code above is not the most recent, added another function for validation, it is close enough to see whats wrong. Can anyone help? *EDIT* There is 30 mins left, and I can't figure it out. I am turning in this program right now with the problem. Hope that the TA that grades it is leaniant. -LoS-TimberWolf{FF} Vehicle SpecilistEdited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.sho ... berWolf</A> at: 2/6/03 10:24:46 am

Well, I see that it is getting called from setSalespay() and setSalarypay(), as well as from within getPayType(). Debugging tip: If you really want to know exactly where a method is getting called from and when, set a breakpoint on the method, then run the prog in debug mode. When the program stops at the breakpoint, check your call stack and see where the method was called from. <img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/> XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.

I know it gets called from three different locations, but only one of those are called each time. The debug program hates me anyway, and with this coding it would give me hell. Tomarrow I will start on a new program thats due next week on thursday. -LoS-TimberWolf{FF} Vehicle Specilist

If you plan to program, even just for class, you MUST learn to use the debugger. It's really the most helpful and effective tool for fixing those problems. The features I use most are single-stepping, so I can see exactly how the proggy came to do what I didn't expect; the call stack, so I can see how it got there; and setting watches on variables so I can check the state of the program at any point. If you're using Visual Studio it's really easy, too. Starting on the program well ahead of the due date is an awfully good idea. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> <img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/> XMEN member Card-carrying DTM OKL Fish-napper Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.
