This is gonna take some time, anyway here it is:

the student class :

[PHP]

#ifndef STUDENT_H
#define STUDENT_H

class Student
{
public:
Student(const char *, const char *, const Date&, const job&);
char * getfirstName();
char * getlastName();
void getbirthdate();
void getjobnumber();

private:

char firstname[25];
char lastname[25];

Date birthdate;
job jobnumber;
};

#endif

[/PHP]



the student class functions:


[PHP]

#include "student.h"

Student:tudent(const char *first, const char *last, const Date &dateOfbirth, const job &jobs):birthdate(dateOfbirth), jobnumber(jobs)
{
strcpy(firstname , first );
strcpy(lastname, last);
} //constructor

char *Student::getfirstName()
{
return firstname;
}

char *Student::getlastName()
{
return lastname;
}


void Student::getbirthdate()
{
birthdate.getDate();
}


void Student::getjobnumber()
{
jobnumber.getjobnumber();
}

[/PHP]


the date class

[PHP]

#ifndef DATE_H
#define DATE_H

class Date
{
public:
Date(int = 1, int = 1 , int = 1900);
int getday();
int getmonth();
int getyear();
void getDate();

private:
int month, day, year;

};

#endif

[/PHP]


the date class functions:

[PHP]

#include "date.h"
Date:ate(int dy, int mn, int yr):month(mn), day(dy), year(yr)
{

}

int Date::getday()
{
return day;
}
int Date::getmonth()
{
return month;
}

int Date::getyear()
{
return year;
}


void Date::getDate()
{
cout << day << "/" << month << "/" << year;
}

[/PHP]




and now the new class that im trying to put in:

[PHP]


class job
{
public:
job(int = 1);
int getjob();
void setjob(int);
void printjob();
void getjobnumber():


private:

int jobnumber;

};

job::job(int a ) :jobnumber(a)
{
cout << "constructor call" << endl << "The value is :" << jobnumber;
}

int job::getjob()
{
cout << "job is: "<<endl;
return jobnumber;
}

void job::printjob()
{
cout << jobnumber;
}

void job::setjob(int a)
{
jobnumber = a;
}

void getjobnumber()
{
cout << "the job number is: "<<jobnumber;
}


[/PHP]


and heres main:

[PHP]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

#include "date.h"
#include "job.h"
#include "student.h"



int main()
{
char firstname [25];
char secondname[25];

int day = 0, month = 0, year = 0;


cout << "\n\n --------------------------------------------------------------\n" <<endl;

cout << "please enter your students details - " << endl;

cout << "D.O.B ";

cin >> day >> month >> year;

Date birth(day , month , year);

cout << "Please enter that students name" << endl;

job job1(1);

cin >> firstname >> secondname;

Student student1(firstname, secondname, birth, job1);

cout << "please enter there transaction number: "<<endl;



cout << "the details you entered are :" <<endl;

cout << "name is : " << student1.getfirstName() << " "<< student1.getlastName();

cout << ", and there birthdate is : "; student1.getbirthdate();


return 0;
}

[/PHP]




but I get around 9 errors:


looking at the code I cant see whats wrong! Everything works if i take away the job class and restore it. So its obviuosly nothing wrong with date class. Any ideas?

>Everything works if i take away the job class
So the problem is with job.h and you can focus your debugging there. For example:
Don't you think that should be:
It's also a good idea to tell your compiler to produce preprocessed output so that you can make sure everything is kosher after it's all put together.

whoopies. I'm gonna get to bed, perhaps spending a constant 6 -8 hours on the code isnt a good idea!! I'll begin debuggin 2moro
