yes - and then introduce it :) There's also #pragma once that can be used with compilers such as VS - which IMO is more elegant if supported.



Yes :)



Definitely! :thumb:

How are you learning c++? What book(s), if any, are you using?

Have at look at this thread http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?231039-C-General-What-are-good-books-about-C and in particular...

Whilst knowledge of separate compilation units and include-guards is important, IMO it's not something that should be introduced early into a newbie c++ course. There's plenty of other good c++ stuff...

Ok. Here's your starter for 10. This will create and display the class instances for the required constructors.



#include <iostream>
#include <string>

struct Name {
std::string firstName;...

Student::Student(Student& Name student_name, int id_number, std::string student_department, Year students_current_year)


You haven't specified a class constructor in the class definition. It was...

void displayStudent(Student);


That is a function declaration in main()?? :confused:

The class getters should be const.



Student::student()

I agree re testing and step-wise enhancement. However, first you design the program, then code against the design. IMO the worst thing that programmers can do (especially newbies) is to start coding...

year is an enum and not an int. As per the notes, the enum definition needs to go before the class definition.

You don't usually put using namespace in a header file as this isn't considered good...
