C++ Placing objects in arrays - c++

Question

I am trying to place objects in an array list and 3 errors popped up. I looked into the forums and there's a question similar to mine but I don't think it's applicable in my case.
Here's my code:
in test.cpp (main file)
#include <iostream>
#include "House.h"
using namespace std;
House HouseArray[2];
int main()
{
string toPrint;
House Kubo("Kubo", 2);
HouseArray[0] = Kubo;
toPrint = HouseArray[0].GetHouseName;
cout <<toPrint<< endl;
}
in House.cpp
#include "House.h"
#include <iostream>
House::House(string a, int h)
{
Name = a;
Health = h;
}
void House::DamageHouse(int d) {
Health -= d;
cout << "Your " << Name << " has " << Health << " left."<<endl;
}
int House::GetHouseHealth() {
return Health;
}
string House::GetHouseName() {
string returning = Name;
return returning;
}
House::~House()
{
}
in House.h
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class House
{
string Name;
int Health;
public:
House(string a, int h);
int GetHouseHealth();
void DamageHouse(int d);
string GetHouseName();
~House();
};
Errors:
Error C2512 'House': no appropriate default constructor available test.cpp in line 9
Error C3867 'House::GetHouseName': non-standard syntax; use '&' to
create a pointer to
member test.cpp in line 16
Error C2679 binary '=': no operator found which takes a right-hand
operand of type 'overloaded-function' (or there is no acceptable
conversion) test.cpp in line 16

Answer 1

You need a default constructor if you want to create an array like that: House HouseArray[2]; The compiler will need to know how to create an empty House so that the initial array can be initialised. Thus add something like the following to House.h
House() {
Name = "";
Health = 0;
}
To call a function on a class, you need to add the braces:
toPrint = HouseArray[0].GetHouseName();
I suspect that the above will solve this issue as well.
