I'm currently reading through "accelerated C++" so I'm sure a majority of you have seen this exercise before.

The idea of the exercise is to create a frame window when outputting the users name.

In the book the exercise takes place in the main cpp file, but I like to get into a OO mindset when making programs so I tried to change this exercise accordingly.

The errors I get say:
Error 1 error C2653: 'NonLoopGreeting' : is not a class or namespace name
Warning 2 warning C4305: 'argument' : truncation from 'int' to 'char'
Warning 3 warning C4309: 'argument' : truncation of constant value
IntelliSense: name followed by '::' must be a class or namespace name

Below is the code.

NonLoop_fGreeting.h

#ifndef NONLOOP_FGREETING_H
#define NONLOOP_FGREETING_H

class NonLoopGreeting
{
public:
	void nlGreeting();
};

#endif

NonLoop_fGreeting.cpp

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void NonLoopGreeting::nlGreeting()
{
	cout << "Please enter your first name: " << endl;
	string name;
	cin >> name;

	// Build message that I intend to write.
	const string greeting = "Hello, " + name + "!";

	// Builds 2nd and 4th line of the framed window.
	const string spaces(greeting.size(), ' ');
	const string second = "* " + spaces + " *";

	// Builds 1st and 5th line of the framed window.
	const string first(second.size(), ' *');

	cout << endl;
	cout << first << endl;
	cout << second << endl;
	cout << "* " << greeting << " *" << endl;
	cout << second << endl;
	cout << first << endl;
}

Main.cpp

#include "NonLoop_fGreeting.h"

int main()
{
	NonLoopGreeting nonLoop;

	nonLoop.nlGreeting();

	return 0;
}

The errors mostly point to line 5 of the NonLoop_fGreeting.cpp file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The error is telling you that the compiler has no idea what NonLoopGreeting is. You need to include NonLoop_fGreeting.h in NonLoopGreeting.cpp so it can identify what it is defining

Hope I helped

That's really embarassing. Thank you for the help and I guess I won't make this mistake again :$

I'm no moderator or anything (actually, a New DIC Head), but I gott say: wow... this has to be a prime-example of how every thread should look like.

I see so much arrogant, master-slave-type questioning, etc., lately... this is heaven!
