#define and headers

When I use a #define for a header file, do I use it in the header file or in the associated .cpp file?

My switch statements:

Code:

---

                case NAME:
                        cout << endl << "getline(cin, student.name);"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                case MIDTERM:
                        cout << endl << "student.midterm = GetIntInput()"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                case FINAL:
                        cout << endl << "student.final = GetIntInput()"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                case HOMEWORK:
                        cout << endl << "Add-Edit_Homework();"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                case TESTS:
                        cout << endl << "Add-Edit_Tests();"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                case QUIZZES:
                        cout << endl << "Add-Edit_Quizzes();"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                case PROJECTS:
                        cout << endl << "Add-Edit_Projects();"
                                << endl;
                        break;
                }

Are giving a ": not found before ;" error, and that is the only thing I can surmise to be wrong.

If you have more than one .cpp file that uses the macros, put it in the .h

Although, if you are using it for a switch like this, it might be better to use an enum and group them together. It will save you some typing.

Well, the fact that it isn't working worries me. But I'll check up on the syntax of an enum.
