So if anyone can tell me what is not matching up I will appreciate it and if it is matching up

Both your compiler and I have been telling you what is not matching up. But you don't seem to understand that there is a difference between a char and a char array. You need to study the tutorials I provided and if you still don't understand the differences, ask specific questions.

It is saying NOW : (58): error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'char [4]' to 'char'
1> There is no context in which this conversion is possible

The function tutorials linked in my signature are also very good about how to create and use a function. The only difference between a friend function and a regular stand alone function is that the friend function has access to all members of the class a stand alone function only has access to the public members of your class.

Jim I took what you said to heart and am redoing the program to take out char and insert int to see if this will make things any better.

I will study these tutorials thanks Jim

If you are required to use a char array:

Jim this is what was asked of us in a prior assignment and I just kept it. I would have preferred it to be an integer but they asked for a character. The teacher told us to put an array of 4 so that we could make sure that it accepted up to this many characters.

How will changing things to an int help?

You need to understand the difference between a char, a char* and a char array[]. These are all slightly different, that is why I pointed you to the links about Arrays, Pointers, and Character Arrays. As well as the link for Variables and data types. You need to understand the differences between arrays, pointers and single variables.

Does this look better??

It still doesn't compile:

Quote

In function `main':
main.cpp|127|undefined reference to `HotelRoom::HotelRoom(int, char*, int, int, double)'|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Where have you implemented a function with those parameters?


Why are you including the <string> header if you aren't using them. If you are allowed to use std::string it will make writing this program much much easier.

I did notice the string after posting it, that is removed and I did notice that I left guest name there and that is removed. I am just needing to declare room_num now and we will see what happens.

[llwilkins]

Jim,

Please explain to me why it is stating room_num is undeclared when it is right here.

int room_num; 

[jimblumberg]

Where is it stating that room_num is not declared? The only error I got with your program was that you didn't have constructor with the proper number of parameters.

Put this in your compiler

[jimblumberg]

Why? What is wrong with your code? If you have errors post the complete error message exactly as they appear in your development environment. These messages have important information to aid in locating and fixing the errors. But I suggest you check your spelling, C/C++ is very particular about spelling being the same.

(92): error C2065: 'room_num' : undeclared identifier

Here is the error

[jimblumberg]

I bet the error says "rooms_num" not "room_num".
