Need help solving errors: C2533, C2511, C2144.

Expand Post »

I've been trying to fix these errors for a while now and I'm having difficulty. Can anyone help? I've attached my header file, .cpp file and main.

The C2533 and C2511 are both in my .cpp file.
c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\invoice.cpp(15) : error C2533: 'Invoice::{ctor}' : constructors not allowed a return type
c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\invoice.cpp(113) : error C2511: 'void Invoice::print(Invoice)' : overloaded member function not found in 'Invoice'
c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\invoice.h(11) : see declaration of 'Invoice'

The C 2144 error is in my main.

c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\main.cpp(15) : error C2144: syntax error : 'int' should be preceded by ';'

The problem is at the last line of invoice.h -- a semicolon is required at the end of a class declaration.

Thanks so much!

That solves two errors, but the C2511 is still there.

C2511 error - need help solving

The error is as follows:

c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\invoice.cpp(113) : error C2511: 'void Invoice::print(Invoice)' : overloaded member function not found in 'Invoice'
c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\invoice.h(11) : see declaration of 'Invoice'

My program code is attached. Please help. This assignment is due at midnight and I can't get the bloody thing to even compile so that I can start debugging.

It involves this line:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
void Invoice::print(Invoice *bill)
{			//print values in current bill
void Invoice::print(Invoice *bill)
{			//print values in current bill

Which comes from:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
class Invoice
{	
...
 
void print(Invoice *) const;
class Invoice
{	
...

void print(Invoice *) const;

Thanks!

Re: Need help solving errors: C2533, C2511, C2144.

Several problems
1) add the const keyword

2) need to add () to function method calls

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
void Invoice::print(Invoice bill) const 
{											//print values in current bill
	cout<<"Invoice Number: "<<bill.getInvoiceNum()<<endl<<endl;
	cout<<"Part Number: "<<bill.getPartNum()<<endl;
	cout<<"Part Description: "<<bill.getPartDesc()<<endl;
	cout<<"Quantity Shipped: "<<bill.getQuantityShip()<<endl;
	cout<<"Unit Price ($/item): "<<bill.getUnitPrice()<<endl;
	cout<<"Sales Tax Rate: "<<bill.getSalesTaxRate()<<endl;
	cout<<"Sales Tax Amount: "<<bill.calcSalesTaxAm()<<endl;
	cout<<"Shipping Cost: "<<bill.getShipCost()<<endl;
	cout<<"Total Cost: "<<bill.calcTotCost()<<endl;
}
void Invoice::print(Invoice bill) const 
{											//print values in current bill
	cout<<"Invoice Number: "<<bill.getInvoiceNum()<<endl<<endl;
	cout<<"Part Number: "<<bill.getPartNum()<<endl;
	cout<<"Part Description: "<<bill.getPartDesc()<<endl;
	cout<<"Quantity Shipped: "<<bill.getQuantityShip()<<endl;
	cout<<"Unit Price ($/item): "<<bill.getUnitPrice()<<endl;
	cout<<"Sales Tax Rate: "<<bill.getSalesTaxRate()<<endl;
	cout<<"Sales Tax Amount: "<<bill.calcSalesTaxAm()<<endl;
	cout<<"Shipping Cost: "<<bill.getShipCost()<<endl;
	cout<<"Total Cost: "<<bill.calcTotCost()<<endl;
}

Re: Need help solving errors: C2533, C2511, C2144.

In Invoice.h you declare this function:

void print(Invoice) const;

However, I don't think you can use Invoice as a parameter to a class member funtion in the Invoice class delaration because the class hasn't been fully declared yet. You can have a pointer to class type in the class declaration, though. For your purposes I don't think you want either. I'd declare print() to have a void parameter list. It would be used to print() the Invoice invoking it. That is:
Invoice i;
i.print();
will print the Invoice object called i.

But then again, I've been wrong before.

This just gives me more errors.

Re: C2511 error - need help solving

Ok, now I'm down to one error in main.

c:\documents and settings\tina\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\csci112lab4\csci112lab4\main.cpp(65) : error C2664: 'Invoice::print' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Invoice *' to 'Invoice'
No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

for the line:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
bill[place].print(bill);
bill[place].print(bill);

Re: C2511 error - need help solving

look at the parameter in the .h file -- it is a pointer. Now look at the parameter in the line you quoted -- that is NOT a pointer. They have to be consistent, one of the two has to be changed.
