Error with getDate function

Expand Post »
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. class Date
  2. {
  3.  public : Date();
  4.           void getDate(int,string,int);
  5.  
  6.  private : int day;
  7.            string mth;
  8.            int year;
  9.  
  10. };//end class
  11.  
  12. //getdate
  13. void Date::getDate(int& inDay,string& inMth,int& inYear) const //error here
  14. {
  15.  inDay=day;
  16.  inMth = mth;
  17.  inYear=year;
  18. }

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.

Re: Error with getDate function

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&);

Re: Error with getDate function

i have tried putting
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. 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&)

Re: Error with getDate function

Hmm, that weird, my answer to your post appears above the post...

anyway:
Change the definition to
void getDate(int&, string& ,int&) const;
