C++ Error: No Member in Class? - c++

Question

I'm working on C++, and this is just a very basic program, but I'm still getting an error.
The error message is:
'class secondary' has no member named 'getting'.
Why is this? It works for my void setting, but not for getting? What am I doing wrong here?
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "secondary.h"
using namespace std;
int main(){
secondary s;
int scale;
cout << "On a scale of 1-10, how awesome are you?" << endl;
cin >> scale;
cout << endl;
s.setting(scale);
cout << s.getting();
return 0;
}
secondary.h
#ifndef SECONDARY_H
#define SECONDARY_H
#include <string>
class secondary
{
public:
void setting(int x);
string getting();
};
#endif // SECONDARY_H
secondary.cpp
#include "secondary.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void secondary::setting(int x){
factor = x;
}
string secondary::getting(){
string result;
if(factor < 3){
result = "You have a very low self esteem.";
}elseif(factor > 3){
if(factor > 7){
result = "You have a very high self esteem."
}else{
result = "You have a medium self esteem."
}
}
return result;
}
private factor;

Answer 1

Actually, looking at this again, and deeper, this code has many issues (semicolons missing at key points and the private int definition should have been in the header file, not the cpp file 9t(private is its own section, see below):The problem, from what I can see, s has not yet been instantiated yet, do so and the operation should work correctly.
Please also note that when factor was defined in the cpp file, it was defined at bottom, it should actually be defined before any use of the variable to be defined (in the header file is better meet with common/conventional coding standards).
Please check this tested code:
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "secondary.h"
using namespace std;
int main(){
secondary s;
int scale;
cout << "On a scale of 1-10, how awesome are you?" << endl;
cin >> scale;
cout << endl;
s.setting(scale);
cout << s.getting();
return 0;
}
secondary.h
#ifndef SECONDARY_H
#define SECONDARY_H
#include <string>
class secondary
{
public:
void setting(int x);
std::string getting();
private: // Note: this is how you do private
int factor; // This is the definition with type int, missing in original
};
#endif // SECONDARY_H
secondary.cpp
#include "secondary.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void secondary::setting(int x){
factor = x;
}
string secondary::getting(){
string result;
if (factor < 3){
result = "You have a very low self esteem.";
}else if(factor > 3){
if (factor > 7){
result = "You have a very high self esteem.";
}
else{
result = "You have a medium self esteem.";
}
}
return result;
}
