I will but this will be the last time. aurisdante was correct you do need to get a book on C++ programming if you are going to pursue programming. My initial response was a) because I remember when I was starting out. And B) to give you something that would at least compile. So, from here on out it is up to you to go forth and conquer...
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#ifndef CUSTOMER_H //CUSTOMER_H not defined
#define CUSTOMER_H //define it
#endif // CUSTOMER_H
using namespace std;
struct customer
{
string name;
string pin;
string user_id;
};
//You have to do this after you prototype the object so the complier knows what the object is
customer* CustomerCreator();
customer* CustomerCreator(string name, string pin, string u_Id);
int main()
{
customer* Customer1 = new customer { "Mary Jones", "235718", "5074" };
cout << Customer1->name << Customer1->pin << endl;
customer* Customer2 = CustomerCreator();
Customer2->name = "Put name here";
Customer2->pin = "0U812";
Customer2->user_id = "AnotherNumberGoesHere";
customer* Customer3 = CustomerCreator("William Shatner", "UCC-1", "HMFIC");
//this creates a break point
_asm int 3;
return 1;
}
//this just creates and returns an object custmer
customer* CustomerCreator()
{
customer* Customer = new customer();
return Customer;
}
customer* CustomerCreator(string name, string pin, string u_Id)
{
customer* Customer = new customer{ name , pin, u_Id};
return Customer;
}

You might want to try something like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#ifndef CUSTOMER_H //CUSTOMER_H not defined
#define CUSTOMER_H //define it
#endif // CUSTOMER_H
using namespace std;
struct customer
{
string name;
string pin;
string user_id;
};
int main()
{
customer* CreateCustomer = new customer { "Mary Jones", "235718", "5074" };
cout << CreateCustomer->name << CreateCustomer->pin << endl;
//this creates a break point
_asm int 3;
return 1;
}
