When I compile the program I get this error :
68 C:\Dev-Cpp\student.cpp prototype for `Teacher::Teacher(std::string, std::string)' does not match any in class `Teacher'

Any idea where I'm going wrong? Thanks in advance!!

try putting the proper prototype at line 22.

Thanks!! Can't believe I didn't notice that!
