C++ class vector issues - c++

Question

Ok, I'm working on this inventory program, in which what is supposed to happen is the user inputs various bits of information about a particular product, then it gets passed to the inventory, while giving the user the opportunity to change stuff (as you should see in the code). Since I'm doing this for a school project, I have to have the various classes that are there (hence why I haven't gotten rid of them.
Now my issue is with the vectors in class Inventory.
Error 'std::vector> AddProduceToInventory(std::vector<_Ty,std::allocator<_Ty>>)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'std::vector>' to 'std::vector>'
This issue applies to each of those vectors in the class. I only copied one of the identical errors.
I can't figure out what else I'm supposed to do. Here is my code (sorry for the length!)
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
class Item {
public:
void SetPrice(int prcInDllrs) {
priceInDollars = prcInDllrs; // Somehow I need to keep adding each of these totals to make a grand total price.
}
void SetItemPrice(int whatever) {
itemsPrice = whatever;
}
void SetName(string nm)
{
name = nm;
};
void SetQuantity(int qnty)
{
quantity = qnty;
};
virtual void Print() //Here is my print problem
{
};
virtual ~Item()
{
return;
};

string name;
int quantity = 0;
int priceInDollars = 0;
int itemsPrice = 0;
};
class Produce : public Item { // Derived from Item class

{

{
cout << name << " x" << quantity

<< endl;
};

I'm also getting additional errors, but I think they are coming from this main issue. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks!
Also, I'm using Visual Studio, but have checked with Code::Blocks to make sure it isn't a weird compiler issue.

Answer 1

Most of your functions look somehow similar to this:
void foo() {
std::vector<T> foo(std::vector<T> bar){
/*...*/
}
}
It looks like you try to declare a function inside the function (with the same name but different parameters and return type and sometimes with missing return type). Just dont do that, but just this:
std::vector<T> foo(std::vector<T> bar){
/*...*/
}
