I'm trying to implement Inheritance by having 1 base class and 2 derived classes. I have 3 files: 1 file for the base class, 1 file for the 2 derived classes, and 1 file for the Test file. 1st of all, am I doing this correctly: My base class is Package.h, then my 2nd file for my 2 derived classes is called TwoDayPackage.cpp, then my 3rd file, Test File, is called TwoDayPackageTest.cpp.

In TwoDayPackage.cpp, I put #include <Package.h>, then in TwoDayPackageTest.cpp, I put #include <TwoDayPackage.cpp>.

I am getting error messages that say:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Package.h': No such file or directory

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'TwoDayPackage.cpp': No such file or directory


What am I doing wrong here?

Please advise.

Are these in the the same directory in main.cpp file? If so...

use this

#include <"Package.h" > instead of #include <Package.h>

I don't know exactly what you mean by
QUOTE

However, I tried changing it to #include <"Package.h"> and it gave me an error message:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: '"Package.cpp"': Invalid argument

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: '"Package.h"': Invalid argument

Sorry, it should be : #include "Package.h"

It should be in the directory where the main cpp file is located. Or you have to put that in the include folder of your compiler and use this :
#include <Package.h>

OK, I tried that and now I have 15 errors. Would it help if I gave you all of the code?

It would probably help if you told us what errors you're getting. Not just that you got 15... And having source on hand might help too, see if we can't spot the errors, and help you fix them.

I tried posting the list of error messages, but it wouldn't allow me for some reason. It kept giving me an error message. Weird.

I think this is the main error message I keep getting multiple times:

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

and I think it has to do with this piece

CODE

cout << "The sender    " << box.getSenderName()<< "\n";  
    cout << "              " << box.getSenderAddress() << "\n";  
    cout << "              " << box.getSenderCity() << ", " << box.getSenderState() << "  " << box.getSenderZip() << "\n";  
      
  
    cout << "The recipient " << box.getRecipientName()<< "\n";  
    cout << "              " << box.getRecipientAddress() << "\n";  
    cout << "              " << box.getRecipientCity() << ", " << box.getRecipientState() << "  " << box.getRecipientZip() << "\n";  
    cout << "The cost is   $ " <<box.calculateCost() << "\n\n";  
      
    cout << "\n\n\n";  
  
    cout << "To ship a parcel with 2 day delivery:\n";  
    cout << "The sender    " << parcel.getSenderName()<< "\n";  
    cout << "              " << parcel.getSenderAddress() << "\n";  
    cout << "              " << parcel.getSenderCity() << ", " << parcel.getSenderState() << "  " << parcel.getSenderZip() << "\n";  
      
  
    cout << "The recipient " << parcel.getRecipientName()<< "\n";  
    cout << "              " << parcel.getRecipientAddress() << "\n";  
    cout << "              " << parcel.getRecipientCity() << ", " << parcel.getRecipientState() << "  " << parcel.getRecipientZip() << "\n";  
    cout << "The cost is   $ "<<parcel.calculateCost() << "\n\n";  



What exactly does this error message mean?

OK, I've got it down to 4 errors, which is still the:

error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::string' (or there is no acceptable conversion)


Here is my updated Test File:

CODE

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <iomanip>
using std::setprecision;

#include "Package.cpp"
#include <conio.h>

//Test File
  
int main()  
{  
    OverNightPackage box("John Doe", "789 Fire Street", "Hell", "MI", "48169", "Jane Doe", "987 Legs Crossing", "Intercourse", "PA", "17534", 10.00, 1.50, .85);  
      
    TwoDayPackage parcel("John Doe", "789 Fire Street", "Hell", "MI", "48169", "Jane Doe", "987 Legs Crossing", "Intercourse", "PA", "17534", 15.00, 1.05, 5.00);  
  
    cout << fixed << setprecision(2);  
      
    cout << "To ship a box with overnight delivery:\n"
         << "\nThe sender    " << box.getSenderName()  
         << "\n              " << box.getSenderAddress()
         << "\n              " << box.getSenderCity() << ", " << box.getSenderState() << "  " << box.getSenderZip() << endl;  
      
  
    cout << "\nThe recipient   " << box.getRecipientName()  
         << "\n                " << box.getRecipientAddress()
         << "\n                " << box.getRecipientCity() << ", " << box.getRecipientState() << "  " << box.getRecipientZip()  
         << "\nThe cost is   $ " <<box.calculateCost() << endl;  
      
      
    cout << "\n\n\n\nTo ship a parcel with 2 day delivery:\n"
         << "\nThe sender    " << parcel.getSenderName()  
         << "\n              " << parcel.getSenderAddress()
         << "\n              " << parcel.getSenderCity() << ", " << parcel.getSenderState() << "  " << parcel.getSenderZip() << endl;  
      
  
    cout << "\nThe recipient " << parcel.getRecipientName()
         << "\n              " << parcel.getRecipientAddress()
         << "\n              " << parcel.getRecipientCity() << ", " << parcel.getRecipientState() << "  " << parcel.getRecipientZip()
         << "\nThe cost is   $ "<<parcel.calculateCost() << endl;  

    _getch();

}



The 4 errors that are occurring have something to do with these lines:

CODE


<< "\n              " << box.getSenderAddress()

<< "\n                " << box.getRecipientAddress()

<< "\n              " << parcel.getSenderAddress()

<< "\n              " << parcel.getRecipientAddress()



what is wrong with these lines?

i think you forgot the ";" (semi colon) at the end.

Also you should be including "Package.h" and not .cpp

edit: It might work either way? I've never tried doing it that way in C++

I tried removing
CODE
#include "Package.cpp"
and replaced it with
CODE
#include "Package.h"
, however, I got 50 errors!! So, I just included them both, and now I'm back to the same 4 errors.

I don't get it. mad.gif I have been using this example in my book as a reference, and although it doesn't consist of 2 derived classes, it's still fairly similar and I feel like this program should be working but it's not.

Does anyone know a good solution for this, please??
