Method Calling from header files - c++

Question

I have a programming assignment where I'm supposed to write up the code for inserting and removing linked lists. However I haven't used C++ in a while and am struggling remember certain things.
Right now, I am simply trying to put a prototype method in a header file, define it in my cpp file, and then call it in my main method. this is what I have.
LinkedList.h
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class LinkedList {
public:
void testPrint();
};
LinkedList.cpp
#include "LinkedList.h"
int main() {
LinkedList::testPrint();
}
void LinkedList::testPrint() {
cout << "Test" << endl;
}
I am getting the following errors
a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object
'LinkedList::testPrint': non-standard syntax; use & to create a pointer to member

Answer 1

LinkedList::testPrint() is a member function.
It is not declared static, so that means it must be called on a particular object, defined as LinkedList linked_list, for example. Then use linked_list.testPrint().
Option 1 - static member function declaration
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class LinkedList {
public:
static void testPrint();
};
int main() {
LinkedList::testPrint();
}
void LinkedList::testPrint() {
cout << "Test" << endl;
}
Option 2 - Instantiated object with call to member function
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class LinkedList {
public:
void testPrint();
};
int main() {
LinkedList linked_list;
linked_list.testPrint();
}
void LinkedList::testPrint() {
cout << "Test" << endl;
}
