Hi all,
I am very much a beginner and I'm struggling just to pass this class..so go easy on me. I keep getting this 1 error and I cannot figure out why. I'm sure it's something simple but I'm at a dead-end here.
This is the error I get, it points to the call to function 'display':
error C2664: 'display' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [25]' to 'employee'
1> No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous
Code:
