Visual C++ 6 Compiler error

vip3r · #1 12-Apr-2004, 20:12

I've run into a compiler error in Visual C++ 6 that I can't seem to find the source of. I was thinking some of you could help me?

CPP / C++ / C Code:

class point
{
  protected:
	int positionX;
	int positionY;
  public:
	void setPositionX(int X);
	void setPositionY(int Y);
	int getPositionX();
	int getPositionY();
	point();
	point(int X, int Y);
} ;

point::setPositionX(int X)
{
	positionX = X;
}

point::setPositionY(int Y)
{
	positionY = Y;
}

point::getPositionX() 
{
	return positionX;
}

point::getPositionY()
{
	return positionY;
}

point::point(int X, int Y)
{
	positionX = X;
	positionY = Y;
}

point::point()
{
	positionX = 0;
	positionY = 0;
}

Here is the error i get:

Hello vip3r. Welcome to GIDForums.

When you do the implementation of your functions, you must also give the return value.

So, it should be more like:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

class point
{
  protected:
	int positionX;
	int positionY;
  public:
	void setPositionX(int X);
	void setPositionY(int Y);
	int getPositionX();
	int getPositionY();
	point();
	point(int X, int Y);
} ;

void point::setPositionX(int X)
{
	positionX = X;
}

void point::setPositionY(int Y)
{
	positionY = Y;
}

int point::getPositionX() 
{
	return positionX;
}

int point::getPositionY()
{
	return positionY;
}

point::point(int X, int Y)
{
	positionX = X;
	positionY = Y;
}

point::point()
{
	positionX = 0;
	positionY = 0;
}

int point::getPositionY()
{
	return positionY;
}

point::point(int X, int Y)
{
	positionX = X;
	positionY = Y;
}

point::point()
{
	positionX = 0;
	positionY = 0;
}

Ah, I see. Thanks for the welcome and the answer

. I look forward to posting more here.
