Good Afternoon,

I need help on this assignment from school, I'm getting this error C2660: 'clockType::setTime' : function does not take 4 arguments. I need to make the class functional by the client program testClockClass.cpp. Below are the code that I have so far:

testClockClass.ccp

#include <iostream>
#include "extClockType.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	extClockType time1(5,10,34,CST);
	extClockType time2;  

	cout<<"Time 1: ";
	time1.printTime();
	cout<<endl;

	time2.setTime(12,45,59,PST);

	cout<<"Time 2: ";
	time2.printTime();
	cout<<endl;

	time2.incrementSeconds();

	cout<<"After incrementing time2 by one second, Time 2: ";
	time2.printTime();
	cout<<endl;


	return 0;
}//end main

extClockTypeImp.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "extClockType.h"

using namespace std;

//Write the implementation of setTime, printTime and constructors
//for extClockType class here

void extClockType::setTimeZone(int TimeZone)
{
	if (region<= 12 && region >= -12)
		region = TimeZone;
	else
		region = 0;
}

void extClockType::getTimeZone(int& TimeZone)
{
	TimeZone = region;

}

void extClockType::printTime() const
{
	clockType::printTime();
	cout << " timezone is: ";
	if (region >= 0)
		cout << "GMT+" << region;
	else
		cout << "GMT" << region;
}

extClockType::extClockType(int hours, int minutes, int seconds, int TimeZone): clockType(hours, minutes, seconds)
{
	if (region <= 12 && region >= -12)
		region = TimeZone;
	else

		region = 0;
}

extClockType::extClockType()
{
	region = 0;
}

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

Your compiler is correct -- look at the parameters to SetTime() and then look at the number of parameters main() is trying to pass to it. They ain't the same.

You don't have an implementation of setTime or getTime in the extClockType. The compiler assumes that the call refers to the setTime function in the base class ClockType and doesn't find a version of it with 4 parameters. Just implement a version of the setTime in the extClockType with the 4 parameters and it should work.

Hi,

if declare this on extClockType.cpp

void extClockType::setTime(int hours, int minutes, int seconds, enum zoneType)
{
if(0 <= hours && hours < 24)
		hr = hours;
	else 
		hr = 0;

	if(0 <= minutes && minutes < 60)
		min = minutes;
	else 
		min = 0;

	if(0 <= seconds && seconds < 60)
		sec = seconds;
	else 
		sec = 0;
}

would this make the program run, I'm new to C++, this is my first class that I'm taking. Please help me.

>>would this make the program run

Don't know -- why don't you compile it yourself and find out if it works or not?

it didn't work

it didn't work

Not helpful. How didn't it work?
