A default constructor is a constructor that takes no arguments or fully defaulted arguments. The values of the members of your object are set to a bitwise zero unless otherwise specified by default values. The implicit default constructor just zeros all your members.Its purpose is mainly to ensure your objects are created initialised to a certain value rather than containing whatever garbage was previously in those memory locations.

a function prototype introduces the function to the compiler. It tells the compiler about what arguments the function takes and what it returns. A prototype looks like this...

 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
return_type func_name( arguments );
// i.e.
int func(char a,int b,long c);
return_type func_name( arguments );
// i.e.
int func(char a,int b,long c);

Now a definition also provides code and takes the following structure...

return_type func_name( arguments )

{
    if (a<c) 
       return b;
   else
      return 0;
}
return_type func_name( arguments )
{
   // code here
}

// i.e.

int func(char a,int b,long c)
{
    if (a<c) 
       return b;
   else
      return 0;
}

this is the last one.......

(employee class)create a class called employee that include three pieces of information as data members - a first name(tye string), a last name(type string) and a monthly salary(type int). your class should have a constructor that initializes the three data members. provide a set and a get function for each data member. if the monthly salary is not positive, set it to 0. write a test program that demostrates class employee's capabilities. create two employee objects and display each object's yearly salary. then give each employee a 10 percent raise and display each employee's yearly salary again

If you write each statement on its own line, you can see that it spells out much of the initial code for you. Make an initial attempt and post that.

should be like this

Good indentation helps. String literals are enclosed in double-quotes.

There's more, like returning a value from a void function or misplaced semicolons, but let's try a little at a time for now.
