Hi,
I got this error while trying to access the method that I've posted here.
Main program:
cin>>sname;
string x;
Sports x = Sports.getName();//error:a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object.
loc=x.find(sname);
In Sports.cpp:
string Sports::getName() {return name;}
I've declared getName() function as public.Still I'm getting this error. How to access string from getName() method.
Thanks for any help.
Jump to PostThe compiler is right. Sports is a class name, and you can't use it to call a non-static method. To call getName() you first need to create an object of the Sports class.
Jump to PostJust what do you expect getName() to return in that line? The statement
Sport::getName()means that getName() is a static method of the class and name would also have to be a static member of the class.Probably what you want is
this->getName();

creating an object is done by Sports x; right?
and how to call getName()? x=Movie.getName(); this is not the correct way?

No, we haven't got the pointers yet. So we are not able to use pointers. Is there other way to call without using pointers?

Yes

Yes, but that's not the code you posed. You can't expect people to help you if you don't post the correct code.
