Hey everyone! Thanks for all the help before and now I have another problem. So I'm doing a clock program with three "invalid" attached files. There are zero errors but still won't run the program, any advice out there?

Take a look (no classes) ...

Oh sorry I'm in c++ and I have the main file (cpp) and I need to connect three separate files(.h) to the main file. I have zero errors in each file but refuses to run the program, I'm super stuck.

What I see here is three classes defined. One class named invalidMin, one named invalidHr and one named invalidSec.
I don't see any program to actually run, though. Where is your main function?

What are you trying to do?
Providing the spec's of the problem you were asked to solve
using classes
would help us to see what you are supposed to be doing.
I'm doing a clock program
What is your clock supposed to do in your program?
Another way to phrase it that might help to get things started ...
What is the input expected (as per the spec's) ?
What output is expected for that sample input ?

Here's he main file. Is the header right?

You might like to see this edited logic for the 24 hour part ???
Note: if you added min and max values to the int takeIn function ...
then you would NOT need all the code in your exception classes
as all the error messages could be handled by the min.max bounds there
and the relevant errmsg passed.
