Hello Everyone,

I just started to program and I'm having a bit difficult with it.
Can someone run this code and please explain to me these errors and why they are not compiling.
Error 1 error C2228: left of '.setFirstName' must have class/struct/union c:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\projec314p\projec314p\project314p.cpp 71

when you call this line: Employee myEmployee1(); you're trying to create a class by calling the constructor with no parameters. The problem is that you didn't define a constructor with 0 parameters. The only constructor you created is one with 2 parameters: Employee(string fname, string lname) . So to create a class you need to call it by passing 2 strings to the constructor: Employee myEmployee1("unknown","unknown"); Your next problem will be on these lines:

cout << "You make how much an hour? " << getline(cin, salary)<< endl;

    salary1 = salary * 40 * 4;

salary is a string, and salaray1 is an int. You can't multiply it that way. So change salary to type int and then change the first line to :

cout << "You make how much an hour? ";
cin >> salary;

u have to add a default constructor in the class to continue with your code. Default constructor is created by default if u don't declare any constructor but if u declare some constructor then its not done.

add the following in the Employee class

Employee(){}
