Please someone help, I am trying to code a c++ game player database but when i compile the class Player i get this error with all of the functions that are returning strings.

error C2371: 'Player::getemail' : redefinition; different basic types

this is the code

Player.h

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#pragma once
#include <STRING>
using namespace std;


class Player
{
private:
	int score;
	string nickname, firstname, surname, email, password;
	int played;
	float ratio;
public:
	Player(string nick, string fname, string sname, string mail, string pass);
	~Player(void);
	int addscore(int x);
	int getscore();
	int addplayed(int y);
	int getplayed();
	int clacratio();
	float getratio();
	string getnick();
	string getfirstname();
	string getsurname();
	string getemail();
	string getpassword();
};

Player.cpp

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include "player.h"

Player::Player(string nick, string fname, string sname, string mail, string pass)
{
	nickname = nick;
	firstname = fname;
	surname = sname;
	email = mail;
	password = pass;
	score = 0;
	played = 0;
	ratio = 0;
}

Player::~Player(void)
{
}

Player::getnick()
{
	return nickname;
}

Player::getfirstname()
{
	return firstname;
}

Player::getsurname()
{
	return surname;
}

Player::getemail()
{
	return email;
}

Player::getpassword()
{
	return password;
}

Player::getplayed()
{
	return played;
}

Player::addplayed(int y)
{
	played+=y;
}

Player::getratio()
{
	return ratio;
}

Player::clacratio()
{
	ratio = (score/played);
	return 0;
}

Player::addscore(int x)
{
	score+=x;
	return 0;
}

Player::getscore()
{
	return score;
}

When you define your functions, you should also say what each define. When you don't, C++ assumes you're returning a int.

So amend each function like so:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

string Player::getnick()
{
  return nickname;
}
