a, b, and c. What's the difference between "set" and "store and set"? I assume you want the normal "set" and "get" function for each of the three private variables. So at minimum, three private variables, six public functions, and you should probably add at least one public null constructor, even if it's empty, but I suppose that's somewhat optional. That's normally the way it's done. Here's something to get you started:

class personType
{
public:
void setfirstNameame(string first);
void setlastName(string last);
void setmiddleName(string middle);
string getfirstName ();
string getlastName ();
string getmiddleName ();
 
 
private:
string firstName;
string middleName;
string lastName;
 
};
class personType
{
public:
void setfirstNameame(string first);
void setlastName(string last);
void setmiddleName(string middle);
string getfirstName ();
string getlastName ();
string getmiddleName ();

 
private:
string firstName;
string middleName;
string lastName;

};

Note that the "set" functions are void and take a parameter. The "get" functions are not void and don't take a parameter. All are public. All variables are private. There are no spaces in the variable names.

See my earlier post above. No spaces in the variable name and you'll get an error for having three functions with the same name, all of which take a single string. Note that my functions all have different names.
