I think I'm pretty close in getting this, but I get plenty of errors that are similar.... Yes, this is for school, so the problem is as follows....

Part A

Quote

Define a class names GroceryItem. Include private fields that hold an item's stock number, price, quantity in stock, and total value. Write a public function named dataEntry() that calls four private functions. Three of the private functions prompt the user for keyboard input for a value for one of the data fields stock number, price, and quantity in stock. The function that sets the stock number requires the user to enter a value between 1000 and 9999 inclusive; continue to prompt the user until a valid stock number is entered. The functions that set the price and quantity in stock require non-negative values; continue to prompt the user until valid values are entered. Include a fourth private function that calculates the GroceryItem's total value field (price times quantity in stock). Write a public function that displays a groceryItem object, assigns values to its fields, and uses the display function.

Part B

Quote

Write a main() function that declares an array of 10 GroceryItem objects. Assign values to all 10 items and display them.

My Code

// grocery.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class GroceryItem
{
private:
	int stockNum;
	double itemPrice;
	double quantity;
	double total;
};
class dataEntry
{
public:
	void display();
	void setStockNum(int);
	void setItemPrice(double);
	void setQuantity(double);
	void total(double);
};
void dataEntry::display()
{
	cout<<"Your Total is "<<total<<endl;
}
void dataEntry::setStockNum(int num)
{
	const int HIGH_STOCK = 9999;
	const int LOW_STOCK = 1000;
	int stockNum;
	while(stockNum < LOW_STOCK || stockNum > HIGH_STOCK)
	{
		cout<<"Please Enter A Valid Stock Number ID: ";
			cin>>stockNum;
	}

	stockNum = num;
	return num;
}
void dataEntry::setItem(double price)
{
	double itemPrice;
	while(itemPrice < 0)
	{
		cout<<"Please Enter A Valid Price: ";
			cin>>itemPrice;
	}
	itemPrice = price;
	return price;
}
void dataEntry::setQuantity(double number)
{
	double numQuantity;
	while(numQuantity < 0)
	{
		cout<<"Please Enter A Valid Quantity: ";
			cin<<numQuantity;
	}
	numQuantity = number;
	return number;
}
void dataEntry::total(double total)
{
	double number;
	double price;
	total = number * price;
	return total;
}

int main()
{
	dataEntry Items;
	int stockNum, quantity;
	double itemPrice;
	
	cout<<"Please Enter the Items' Stock Number: ";
		cin>>stockNum;
		cout<<"Please Enter the Items' Price: ";
		cin>>itemPrice;
		cout<<"Please Enter the Quantity Preferred: ";
		cin>>quantity;
		Items.setStockNum(stockNum);
		Items.setItemPrice(itemPrice);
		Items.setQuantity(quantity);
		Items.display();
}

First things first: For every warning of the following type:

void function returning a value

Check each of the functions in question. Remember tat if the header looks like this:

void dataEntry::setQuantity(double number)

the key word void indicates that you are not returning a value from the function - except that you appear to be. For the function in question, you have:

return number;

Do you need to return a value from those functions?
