Do you know what's wrong with this code and how to fix it ?

[WaltP]

1) side1 has no value so you are passing junk onto myTriangle.setside1()
2) myTriangle.setside1() is a void function and returns nothing, therefore you can't load that nothing into side1

in line 26 in main the value of side 1
2 i know that but what shold i do ? what changes should i able
and thank u

[np complete]

You have void Triangle::setside1(double newside1) and you called this method by this side1 = myTriangle.setside1(side1); and you have set side1 as int.

First of all, as WaltP said, you are passing junk, as side1 has garbage value ( basically no usefull value ), secondly you need to pass a double variable, not an int. Another error is that you are returning nothing ( void ) from the function, but in main you have a line of which says that the function returns double.

Function return type mis-match is the error that has occured 3 times, for these 3 functions void Triangle::setside1(double newside3), void Triangle::setside2(double newside2), void Triangle::setside3(double newside3). You need to change void to double and in the functions you need a return statement. Also, you need initialize the variables side1, side2 etc before you pass them to a function.

Thanks all i fixed it
