Error no member function declared in class when compiling - c++

Question

I am pretty new to c++ and have no idea why I am getting this error, except that I think it's to do with using the string type for getter methods.
The error message:
C:\Users\Robin Douglas\Desktop\week6>g++ -c Student.cpp
Student.cpp:15:31: error: no 'std::string Student::get_name()' member function d

std::string get_name;

std::string get_level;

std::string name;
std::string degree_programme;
std::string level;
};
Student.cpp
#include <string>
#include "Student.hpp"
Student::Student(std::string n, std::string d, std::string l)
{
name = n;
degree_programme = d;
level = l;
}
std::string Student::get_name()
{
return name;
}
std::string Student::get_degree_programme()
{
return degree_programme;
}
std::string Student::get_level()
{
return level;
}

Answer 1

The following code defines fields (variables) rather then methods.
public:
Student(std::string, std::string, std::string);
std::string get_name;
std::string get_degree_programme;
std::string get_level;
Then, when you implement it in the .cpp file the compiler complains that you try to implement a method that was not declared (since you declared get_name to be a variable).
std::string Student::get_name()
{
return name;
}
To fix, just change your code as below:
public:
Student(std::string, std::string, std::string);
std::string get_name();
std::string get_degree_programme();
std::string get_level();
