I have this requirement.
I am trying to make a simple database schema, a little different than what I have seen in here. I have a class file (client.h) with it's implementation (client.cpp):
#ifndef CLIENT_H_
#define CLIENT_H_
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Client {
public:
// constructors
Client();
Client(string new_name, string new_tel, string new_addr);
// getters
string getName();
string getAddr();
string getTel();
// setters
void setName(string);
void setAddr(string);
void setTel(string);
void display();
void input();
private:
// fields
string name;
string addr;
string tel;
};
#endif /* CLIENT_H_ */
/*
*ad client.cpp
*
* Created on: Jan 12, 2017
* Author: niksarid
*/
#include <iostream>
#include "client.h"
using namespace std;
Client::Client() {
setName("");
setAddr("");
setTel("");
}
Client::Client(std::string new_name, std::string new_addr, std::string new_tel) {
setName(new_name);
setAddr(new_addr);
setTel(new_tel);
}
string Client::getName() {
return name;
}
string Client::getAddr() {
return addr;
}
string Client::getTel() {
return tel;
}
void Client::setName(string p_name) {
name = p_name;
}
void Client::setAddr(string p_addr) {
addr = p_addr;
}
void Client::setTel(string p_tel) {
tel = p_tel;
}
void Client::input() {
string tmp;
cout << "INPUT CLIENT INFO" << endl;
cout << "Name: ";
cin >> tmp;
setName(tmp);
cout << "Address: ";
cin >> tmp;
setAddr(tmp);
cout << "Telephone: ";
cin >> tmp;
setTel(tmp);
}
void Client::display() {
cout << name << "\t" << addr << "\t" << tel << endl;
}
So I am trying to make a Company class that will hold a vector of Clients and at the startup of the program it will load the datafile "clients.dat", into the vector. I will be able to add a client or delete a client from the vector. At the end the vector will be saved back to "clients.dat".
So, the (company.h) file is like this:
class Company {
public:
Company();
~Company();
void add_client();
void print_clients();
void loadClientsFromFile();
void saveClientsToFile();
private:
vector<Client> clients;
} cmp;
#endif /* COMPANY_H_ */
but I can't seem to reference clients vector in any of the public methods of the class company.
EDIT: Sorry! Forgot the important part!!
For example when I try to add_client(),
void add_client() {
Client c;
c.input();
clients.push_back(c);
}
but I get
../src/company.cpp:49:2: error: 'clients' was not declared in this scope
clients.push_back(c);
So, how to achieve that?
As Morgan mentioned in the comments, this problem typically arises when you try to define the member function in your implementation file, but forget to add the class name as prefix (e.g. void add_client() {} instead of void Company::add_client() {}.
This mistake is common and can easily go unnoticed, since it is perfectly legal to define a new free function called add_client in your file, that would have nothing to do with the Company class. That's why the compiler only complains when you try to access a data member, but not before.

I've been doing c++ self study after taking two semesters of Java.
Below is a simple program which builds fine, but when I run it I get gradeBook2s displayInfo() method called twice. I'm sure its something basic I am missing, but any ideas why?
//GradeBook.h
#include<string>
#include<iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::string;
string courseName;
int courseGrade;
class GradeBook {
public:
GradeBook(string name, int grade) {
setCourseName(name);
setCourseGrade(grade);
}
public:
void setCourseName(string name) {
courseName = name;
}
public:
string getCourseName() {
return courseName;
}
public:
void setCourseGrade(int score) {
courseGrade = score;
}
public:
int getCourseGrade() {
return courseGrade;
}
public:
void displayInfo(){
cout << "Course Name: " << getCourseName()
<< "Course grade: " << getCourseGrade()
<< endl;
}
};
//main.cpp
#include<iostream>
#include "GradeBook.h"
int main() {
GradeBook gradeBook1("Calculus 2", 90);
GradeBook gradeBook2("Chemistry", 80);
gradeBook1.displayInfo();
system("pause");
gradeBook2.displayInfo();
system("pause");
}
The problem that you have is that you are saving the variables courseName and courseGrade as global variables. Because of this, you are overwriting the previous class instance's data with the current, in this case, Chemistry. What you need to do is move the declaration of courseName and courseGrade inside the accessor private inside the class, like this:
class GradeBook {
private:
string courseName;
int courseGrade;
public:
//put your functions here
}
The locations where the code stores values is global, so all instances will appear the same.
I have to create a small console application in C++ which will do the following:
Create class Subject which has next attributes: name of the subject, number of students and array of students who are attending that subject. After that createa class Student which has name and surname of the student as attributes. In Main file count how many duplicate names there are in each Subject.
I have few problems here. First one is that I don't know how to initialize an array in my Subject.h file. Second is how to actually put Student objects into Subject objects and compare the names in the end.
What I'd like output to look like:
Duplicate names in subjectA are: Michael.
Duplicate names in subjectB are: Nicholas, John.
Where subjectA and subjectB should be called C++ and C.
Here is my code so far (I googled for past hour or two about this problem of mine but I just couldn't find a proper answer/example).
NOTE: I'm including all these files for clarification.
Subject.h
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
/*
* I should also have an array named `arrayOfStudents`
* which should store all students who are attending
* that Subject.
*/
class Subject
{
public:
Subject();
Subject(Subject &subject);
Subject(string nameOfSubject, int numberOfStudents);
~Subject();
const string getNameOfSubject();
const int getNumberOfStudents();
void setNameOfSubject(string nameOfSubject);
void setNumberOfStudents(int numberOfStudents);
void print();
private:
string nameOfSubject;
int numberOfStudents;
};
Subject.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "Subject.h"
using namespace std;
Subject::Subject()
{
}
Subject::Subject(string nameOfSubject, int numberOfStudents)
{
this->nameOfSubject = nameOfSubject;
this->numberOfStudents = numberOfStudents;
}
Subject::Subject(Subject &Subject) : nameOfSubject(Subject.getNameOfSubject()), numberOfStudents(Subject.getNumberOfStudents())
{
}
Subject::~Subject()
{
cout << "Object is destroyed" << endl;
}
const string Subject::getNameOfSubject()
{
return nameOfSubject;
}
const int Subject::getNumberOfStudents()
{
return numberOfStudents;
}
void Subject::setNameOfSubject(string nameOfSubject)
{
nameOfSubject = this->nameOfSubject;
}
void Subject::setNumberOfStudents(int numberOfStudents)
{
numberOfStudents = this->numberOfStudents;
}
void Subject::print()
{
cout << "Subject: " << nameOfSubject << " :: Number of students: " << numberOfStudents << endl;
}
Student.h
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Student
{
public:
Student();
Student(Student &student);
Student(string name, string surname);
~Student();
const string getName();
const string getSurname();
void setName(string name);
void setSurname(string surname);
void print();
private:
string name;
string surname;
};
Student.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "Student.h"
using namespace std;
Student::Student()
{
}
Student::Student(string name, string surname)
{
this->name = name;
this->surname = surname;
}
Student::Student(Student &student) : name(student.getName()), surname(student.getSurname())
{
}
Student::~Student()
{
cout << "Object is destroyed" << endl;
}
const string Student::getName()
{
return name;
}
const string Student::getSurname()
{
return surname;
}
void Student::setName(string name)
{
name = this->name;
}
void Student::setSurname(string surname)
{
surname = this->surname;
}
void Student::print()
{
cout << "Student: " << name << " " << surname << endl;
}
Main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "Subject.h"
#include "Student.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
/*
* First three students should attend first Subject
* while other four the second Subject.
* Also note that only names matter and not surnames.
*/
Student stA("Michael", "Doe");
Student stB("Michael", "Doe");
Student stC("Thomas", "Doe");
Student stD("Nicholas", "Doe");
Student stE("Nicholas", "Doe");
Student stF("John", "Doe");
Student stG("John", "Doe");
Subject subjectA("C++", 3);
Subject subjectB("C", 4);
return 0;
}
1) Get an array of Students into your Subject object: you probably want to use vectors instead of arrays here:
in subject.h add
#include "Student.h"
public:
void addStudent(Student student);
private:
std::vector<Student> students_;
in subject.cpp add
void Subject::addStudent(Student student)
{
this->students_.push_back(student);
}
If you want to extract the student list somehow later, you need to write a function to access it (or make it public).
2) For finding duplicates, look here
Checking for duplicates in a vector
You have to pay attention: the Student objects are in your subject object, not the student names. You have to extract them first and e.g. put them in a vector.
Your task definition sais you should have an array of Students attribute of the Subject class, but i don't see this in your Subject class definition.
And maybe an add Student method and then iterate over the array.
CustomerInfo.cpp
#include "CustomerInfo.h" // <==== Funtion Definition
CustomerInfo::CustomerInfo() // <==== The Scope Resolution which is two colons :: gives me access to the class
{
newZipCode = 0;
}
CustomerInfo::CustomerInfo(string name, string address, int zipCode)
{
newName = name;
newAddress = address;
newZipCode = zipCode;
}
CustomerInfo::~CustomerInfo()
{
}
string CustomerInfo::getName() const
{
return newName;
}
string CustomerInfo::getAddress() const
{
return newAddress;
}
int CustomerInfo::getZipCode() const
{
return newZipCode;
}
The main.cpp file
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "CustomerInfo.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string name;
string address;
int zipCode;
cout << "Enter your name: ";
getline (cin, name);
cout << "Enter your address" << endl;
getline (cin, address);
cout << "Enter your ZipCode: ";
cin >> zipCode;
CustomerInfo Real_1(name, address, zipCode);
cout << endl << " Name: " << Real_1.getName() << endl <<
"Address: " << Real_1.getAddress() << endl <<
"ZipCode: " << Real_1.getZipCode() << endl;
return 0;
}
The CustomerInfo.h file
#ifndef CUSTOMERINFO_H
#define CUSTOMERINFO_H
// Header ==> Function Declaration
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class CustomerInfo
{
public:
CustomerInfo(); // <==== Default Constructor
CustomerInfo(string, int); // <==== Overload Constructor
~CustomerInfo(); // <===== Destructor - Done using an object it will be destroyed out of memory'
string getName() const; // <==== Accessor Functions - Return member variables one value at a time. In addition, no void function will be used.
// getName - returns name of person
string getAddress() const;
// getAddress - returns address of person
int getZipCode() const;
// getZipCode - returns zipcode of person
private:
//Member Variables
string newName;
string newAddress;
int newZipCode;
}; // <=== Requires semicolon after brackets for classes
#endif // CUSTOMERINFO_H
The error I receive is out-of-line definition of 'CustomerInfo' does not match any declaration in 'CustomerInfo'
The following line is the error
CustomerInfo::CustomerInfo(string name, string address, int zipCode)
Your problem seems to be that you define a constructor
CustomerInfo::CustomerInfo(string name, string address, int zipCode)
which does not appear in the class definition (in CustomerInfo.h). The closest one is
CustomerInfo(string, int);
but it doesn't match the signature. Just replace it with
CustomerInfo(string name, string address, int zipCode);
to your class definition in the header file.
Good afternoon!
Sorry if the question seems rather vague, but here's some (incomplete) code for some context. Specifically, this is about the "UserInfo inputInfo" definition part as seen in the functions UserInfo::setUserInfo() and UserInfo::displayProfile() in the implementation file.
project02.cpp (implementation file)
#include <iostream>
#include "project02.h"
using namespace std;
void UserInfo::setUserInfo()
{
UserInfo inputInfo;
string fName;
string lName;
int bYear;
string city;
string occupation;
cout << "Please enter your first name: ";
cin >> fName;
inputInfo.setFirstName(fName);
cout << "Please enter your last name: ";
cin >> lName;
inputInfo.setLastName(lName);
cout << "You are now registered as: " << inputInfo.getFirstName() << " " << inputInfo.getLastName();
}
void UserInfo::displayProfile()
{
UserInfo inputInfo;
cout << "Profile Information:" << endl;
cout << "Name: " << inputInfo.getFirstName() << " " << inputInfo.getLastName();
}
void UserInfo::setFirstName(string fName)
{
_firstName = fName;
}
string UserInfo::getFirstName()
{
return _firstName;
}
void UserInfo::setLastName(string lName)
{
_lastName = lName;
}
string UserInfo::getLastName()
{
return _lastName;
}
project02.h (header file)
#ifndef PROJECT02_H
#define PROJECT02_H
using namespace std;
class UserInfo
{
public:
string getFirstName();
void setFirstName(string first);
string getLastName();
void setLastName(string last);
int getBirthYear();
void setBirthYear(int year);
string getCurrentCity();
void setCurrentCity(string city);
string getOccupation();
void setOccupation(string occ);
void setUserInfo();
void displayProfile();
private:
string _firstName;
string _lastName;
int _birthYear;
string _currentCity;
string _occupation;
};
#endif // PROJECT02_H
project02main.cpp (main file)
#include <iostream>
#include "project02.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
UserInfo inputInfo;
inputInfo.setUserInfo();
return 0;
}
Now the question is: is there an alternative to repeatedly defining the object "UserInfo inputInfo;" each time for a different function in the implementation file?
Don't create objects of the same data type within methods of that datatype at this point - simply call setFirstname() and getFirstname() to use methods that will modify the same object that you are currently using.
Whenever I try to make an object and call a function on it, it doesn't seem to work.
I have no idea why, since I don't seem to have errors too.
I have searched around on here regarding constructors and the toString-method, but haven't find anything that worked.
I have tried to edit (distinct) the members in the constructor members,
Tried to rewrite the toString method.
Tried to make local object (with no pointer).
But it doesn't return me the things in the object that I created when calling the constructor.
Where does the problem situate in this problem?
Here is my code:
.h file:
#pragma once
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Store{
private:
int id;
string name;
string adress;
string telephone;
string btwNumber;
public:
int getId();
void setId(int);
string getName();
void setName(string);
string getAdress();
void setAdress(string);
string getTelephone();
void setTelephone(string);
string getBtwNumber();
void setBtwNumber(std::string);
string toString();
Store(int, string, string , string, string);
};
.cpp file:
// Store.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Store.h"
Store::Store(int idnum, string nameS, string adreS, string telephonE, string btwnummeR){
idnum = id;
nameS = name;
adreS = adress;
telephonE = telephone;
btwnummeR = btwNumber;
}
int Store::getId()
{
return id;
}
void Store::setId(int id){
this->id = id;
}
string Store::getName(){
return naam;
}
void Store::setName(string name){
this->naam = naam;
}
string Store::getTelephone(){
return telephone;
}
void Store:setTelephone(string telephone){
this->telephone = telephone;
}
string Store::getBtwNumber()
{
return btwNumber;
}
void Store::setBtwNumber(string btwNumber){
btwNumber = btwNumber;
}
string Store::getAdress(){
return adress;
}
void Store::setAdress(string adress){
this->adress = adress;
}
string Store::toString(){
stringstream s;
s << "Id: " << id << endl;
s << "Naam: " << name << endl;
s << "Adres: " << adress << endl;
s << "Telefoonnummer: " << telephone << endl;
s << "BTWnummer: " << btwNumber << endl;
return s.str();
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
Store *test = new Store (4, "Test", "test", "test", "test");
test->toString();
system("Pause");
return 0;
}
Your constructor is inversed: you are assigning member variables to constructor arguments and not vice versa.
nameS = name;
Should be
name = nameS;
And so on
The method toString does work, but it won't magically decide to output its return value to screen. You'll have to do it yourself:
std::cout << test->toString() << std::endl;
You'll need to add #include <iostream> on top of your cpp file.
