Error with getDate function

Nov 12th, 2008

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
class Date
{
 public : Date();
          void getDate(int,string,int);
 
 private : int day;
           string mth;
           int year;
 
};//end class
 
//getdate
void Date::getDate(int& inDay,string& inMth,int& inYear) const //error here
{
 inDay=day;
 inMth = mth;
 inYear=year;
}
class Date
{
 public : Date();
          void getDate(int,string,int);
          
 private : int day;
           string mth;
           int year;

};//end class

//getdate
void Date::getDate(int& inDay,string& inMth,int& inYear) const //error here
{
 inDay=day;
 inMth = mth;
 inYear=year;
}

I'm doing up a date class. Am doing a class function getDate to return back the day,mth and year through a reference variable. I am getting a compilation error and have been staring at my codes for a while. Can't seem to find where went wrong.

Could someone give me a help here please?

error message was, "void Date::getDate(int&, std::string&, int&) const' does not match any in class `Date' " and void Date::getDate(int, std::string, int)

Many thanks.

The function prototype in the class does not have the same identical type parameters as in the implementation code. Change go void getDate(int&, string& ,int&);

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

i have tried putting

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
void getDate(int&, string& ,int&);
void getDate(int&, string& ,int&);

am still getting a compilation error. any other solution ?

error message is prototype for `void Date::getDate(int&, std::string&, int&) const' does not match any in class `Date'

void Date::getDate(int&, std::string&, int&)
