lol. I should spend more time trying things before I post lol... I just put it
getline(cin, name);
and I checked here and you said the same thing. Thanks for all your help.

I did that and it works. I only have 1 more problem. I need the program to ask for the employee's name. If the user puts "John Doe" it does not prompt the next question. If they put in "John" it asks for the next question.

	int date;

	int empShift = 0;
	double empPayRate = 0.0;

	//Create a ProductionWorker object

	//Get the employee's name
	cout << "Enter the employee's name:  ";

	//Get the date the employee was hired

	//Get the employee's shift
	cout << "Enter the employee's shift where day shift = 1 and night shift = 2:  ";

Do you think I should put everything in the main() function from main_2.cpp into main() in main_1.cpp?

I'm retarded lol. I deleted it and I get this:

Thanks. That cleared almost all errors I only have two

I tried to put string in place of char on every file and I got a bunch of errors.

I'm not sure if you all need all my files, but I'm getting the following error message when compiling:

productionworker.cpp(8) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char [4]' to 'char'

productionworker.cpp(10) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char [6]' to 'char'

Can anyone help?

I used the DayOfYear object and got this error message:

Thanks everyone for all your help!

My current code is:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

	static const int MonthDays[];
	static const string MonthName[];

pertaining to my code, would I do this?

};

I am have to create a program for my class. The instructions are to allow a user to input an integer and display the month and day that corresponds to the entered number. For example, user enters 32 and it will display February 1. I must create a DayOfYear class and create a function called print() to display the output message. I am a little lost and need some help. I compile my program and I get the following error message:

The only problem I had was

void (GetMovieInfo (MovieData &m1, MoviewData &m2)
void (GetMovieInfo (MovieData m1, MovieData m2)

There is also another problem. It display's the movie title with missing the first letter. (ex. entered title is Rush Hour and it displays ush Hour)

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

const int SIZE = 50;

{
	char title[SIZE];
	char director[SIZE];

};

void MovieDisplay(MovieData, MovieData);

int main()
{
	MovieData member1, member2;

	GetMovieInfo(member1, member2);
	MovieDisplay(member1, member2);
	return 0;
}

I'm in a computer programming class and having trouble. The assignment is:

Write a program that uses a structure named MovieData to store the following information about a movie:

Title
Director
Year Released
Running Time (in minutes)

The program should create two MovieData variables, store values in their members, and pass each one, in turn, to a function that displays the information about the movie in a clearly formatted manner.

I created my program, but getting errors. I guess I don't know exactly what they are asking for. Thanks for any help you can give.

	GetMovieInfo(member1, member2);
	MovieDisplay(member1, member2);
	return 0;
}
