What causes

Posted 12 November 2009 - 02:19 AM

For some reason I am getting mad undeclared identifiers and this happened about 2 weeks ago to me its like my compiler is not understanding what a string is. I have the #include <string> code in my stdafx.h but it just seems like its not catching onto it. I say this because multiple strings are not getting recognized and they are coming up as undeclared identifiers or syntax errors that just don't make any logical sense. I'll post up my code if need be but I'm not fully done yet.

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

ok here is what I have so far I'm sur a lot of you D.I.C heads have see something similar for I am a student at Devry working on the timeZone assignment, yet very frustrated for I was supposed to be in the Keys in 6 hrs and have to now wait till Friday. here is the code I have so far

my stdafx.h

#pragma once

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT			// Specifies that the minimum required platform is Windows Vista.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600	 // Change this to the appropriate value to target other versions of Windows.
#endif

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include "extTime.h"
#include "time.h"
#include <string>
using namespace std;

my time.h

#pragma once

#include "stdafx.h"

class time
{
public:
	time();//the default constructor
	time(int hrs, int min, char zone);// constructor with parameters
	~time(void);//deconstructor
	void setHour();//sets the hour
	void setMinute();//sets the minute
	int getHour();//gets the hour and returns a value
	int getMinute();//gets the minute and returns a value	
	void incrementHrs();//increments the hour
	void incrementMin();//incrememts the minute
	void printTime();//prints the hour and the minute

protected:
	int hour;//declares the hour
	int minute;//declares the minute
	char zone;//declares the time zone
};

my extTime.h

#pragma once

#include "stdafx.h"

class extTime : public time
{
public:
	extTime();//default constructor
	extTime(int hr, int min, string tZone);//constructor with parameters
	~extTime(void);//destructor
	void timeZone();
	void printTime();//redefining the print member function of the base class
private:
	string tZone;//a new data member specific to the derived class
				  //this assumes time zone is denoted by one character
};

my time.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"

time::time()//implementation of the default constructor
{
	hour = 0;
	minute = 0;
}
time::time(int hrs, int mins, char tZone)//implementation of the constructor with parameters
{
	hour = hrs;
	minute = mins;
}
time::~time(void)
{
}
void time::setHour(int hrs)
{
	hour = hrs;
}
void time::setMinute(int mins)
{
	minute = mins;
}
int time::getHour()
{
	return hour;	
}
int time::getMinute()
{
	return minute;
}
void time::printTime() const
{
	//note from the if statements that consideration
	//is taken whether the hours and minutes are 1 or 2 digits
	if (hour < 10)
		cout << "0";
	cout << hour << ":";
	hour = 0;
	if (minute < 10)
		cout << "0";
	cout << minute << ":";
}
void time::incrementHrs()
{
	hour++;
		if (hour > 23)
			hour = 0;
}
void time::incrementMin()
{
	minute++;
	if (minute > 59)
		minute = 0;
}

my extTime.h

#include "stdafx.h"

extTime::extTime(void)
{
	if (tZone == "PST")
		cout << "The time is " << (getHour()-3) << ":" << getMinute() << endl;
	if (tZone == "MST")
		cout << "The time is " << (getHour()-2) << ":" << getMinute() << endl;
	if (tZone == "CST")
		cout << "The time is " << (getHour()-1) << ":" << getMinute() << endl;
	if (tZone == "EST")
		cout << "The time is " << getHour() << ":" << getMinute() << endl;
}
extTime::extTime(int hr, int min, string tZone)
{
	hour = hrs;
	minute = mins;
	timeZone = tZone;
}
extTime::~extTime(void)
{
}
void extTime::printTime() const
{
	time::printTime();//which will invoke the original printing function from the base class
	cout << ";Time Zone = " << timeZone;
}

I've erased my main for now for I first need to get these classes working correctly. The errors I'm getting is undeclared identifier string, tZone undeclared identifier, syntax errors before tZone (which makes no sense and is leaving me to believe its not noticing my # include <string>), base class unidentified (not sure why?), functions that are identifuers not being identified such as the get or my getters you could say, mthen misssing type specifiers int assumed (once again I believe most of these errors is due to sting not being recognized)

Any help is appreciated at this point, that way I can work on how I want my main to work. Also please do not have me search for previously disscussions on this for I already have and found this assignment but by having it done differently using flushes, and ushorts which I have not learned yet. Thanks in advance for all your help, patiently waiting everyones response.

I believe this is what my pseudocode should be for the main

#include "stdafx.h"


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{//starts main
//call set time
	//create a time object
	//call time for object
	//set time for object
	//increment time and display new time

	//create a ext time object
	//call time for new object
	//set time for object
	//increment the time for the object
	//show a time zone change
system("pause")//put in a system puase
	return 0;//returns 0 errors
}//ends main

please correct me if I'm wrong

Where is your declaration for timeZone? its referred to here, but I don't see any class variable with that name

extTime::extTime(int hr, int min, string tZone)
{
    hour = hrs;
    minute = mins;
    timeZone = tZone;
}

Re: What causes

try including header files separately
not in stdafx.h

extTime::extTime(int hr, int min, string tZone)
{
	hour = hrs;
	minute = mins;
	timeZone = tZone;
}

should be

extTime::extTime(int hr, int min, string tZone)
{
	hour = hr;
	minute = min;
	timeZone = tZone; // what are you doing here? timeZone is a function you are assigning some string to it.
}

you have declared the function

void timeZone();

but you have not defined it anywhere

Lots more errors like that
one more thing
when you define a function make sure you do it after its class definition
thus the order in which you have added your headers may not be right

Correct as many as you can then re post the code

have to include them seperately for thats how they are teaching us, but I just knocked it down some now its only 38 errors

It doesn't help anyone if the code you post doesn't reflect the errors you're seeing - we can't help you if the code you're looking at is different to the code you've posted.

Get rid of stdafx.h and #include headers in the files where they are needed; putting all of your #includes in a single file is nearly always a bad idea, because you're adding dependency on the order in which headers are included in that file, as you can see, its easy to get the order wrong and its giving you error messages. For example, you are including extTime.h before time.h, but class extTime inherits from class time. This kind of problem won't happen if you include your headers in the appropriate files

As an aside, stdafx.h is used by Visual studio for precompiled headers (Not something you really need); you can disable it in the properties of your project

wish I could do that but I have to have the headers this way but if in stdafx.h if I do not put them in the right order that can cause errors? If so thats probably part of my problem

Wow did that just make a huge difference, Thanks didn't know that about the order on the stdafx.h I bow down to you both

here is new code
stdafx.h

#pragma once

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT			// Specifies that the minimum required platform is Windows Vista.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600	 // Change this to the appropriate value to target other versions of Windows.
#endif

#include <tchar.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

#include "time.h"
#include "extTime.h"

// TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here

time.h

#pragma once

#include "stdafx.h"

class time
{
public:
	time();//the default constructor
	time(int hrs, int min, char zone);// constructor with parameters
	~time(void);//deconstructor
	void setHour(int hrs);//sets the hour
	void setMinute(int mins);//sets the minute
	int getHour();//gets the hour and returns a value
	int getMinute();//gets the minute and returns a value	
	void incrementHrs();//increments the hour
	void incrementMin();//incrememts the minute
	void printTime();//prints the hour and the minute

protected:
	int hour;//declares the hour
	int minute;//declares the minute
	char timeZone;//declares the time zone
};

time.cpp

	minute = 0;

	cout << hour << ":";
	hour = 0;
	if (minute < 10)

private:
	string tZone;//a new data member specific to the derived class

};

extTime.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"

	//set time for object
	//increment the time for the object

system("pause");//put in a system puase
	return 0;//returns 0 errors

here are the new errors

Error 4 error C2664: 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::basic_string(std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::_Has_debug_it)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char' to 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::_Has_debug_it' c:\documents and settings\hp_administrator.wilson\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\week3lab_g.thomaswilsoniii\week3lab_g.thomaswilsoniii\exttime.cpp 27

now what?

I need to know how to get rid of error 4 and error 1, I believe if I kill those 2 then the other 2 will disappear
