Trouble getting code to compile

Jan 15th, 2006

I'm a newie and am in the process of trying to develop a book store as part of a class project. I would greatly appreciate any assistance that may be offered my way. Please do not give me any answers, but if you have any suggestions that may nudge me in the right direction I would be thankful. I must store the inventory of the books in an array of classes. Here is the code I have written so far.

}

As of now, I'm not able to get it to compile, because of the 4 errors listed below.

(80) : error C2660: 'CBooks::inputBooks' : function does not take 0 arguments
(100) : error C2660: 'CBooks::displayBooks' : function does not take 0 arguments
(155) : error C2511: 'void CBooks::inputBooks(void)' : overloaded member function not found in 'CBooks'
d:\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Book Store\Test.cpp(9) : see declaration of 'CBooks'
(177) : error C2511: 'void CBooks::displayBooks(void)' : overloaded member function not found in 'CBooks'
d:\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Book Store\Test.cpp(9) : see declaration of 'CBooks'

Thanks in advance for any guidance offered.

1.Prototype of functions inputbooks and displaybooks differs from their call.
2.Call with the object instead of class name

Well, I've made some progress. At least, I think I have since I'm finally able to get it to compile. Now I'm getting two lnk errors that I don't have a clue what to do with. This is my code now that I've made some alterations to it.

	return doublePrice*.1;
}

The two errors I'm receiving now are:

Linking...
Test.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CBooks::CBooks(void)" (??0CBooks@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _$E1
Debug/Book Store.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I've been scouring the message boards trying to find some guidance on these error codes, but haven't come up with anything useful yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You hadn't defined the Constructor. Only declared it.
