Why am I getting these errors?

[Mr. Mojo Risin]

I haven't programmed in C++ for awhile and I'm trying to work on an assignment for a C++ Data Structures class, so please excuse my question. I am rusty.

Anyway I am getting a bunch of errors like:

error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'theStreet'

addresstype.h(9) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'theStreet'

error C2460: 'addressType::string' : uses 'addressType', which is being defined

and more

addressType.h

#include <string>

class addressType
{
public:

	addressType(string theStreet, string theCity, string theState, string theZipCode);
	addressType();

private:
	string streetAddress;
	string city;
	string state;
	string zipCode;
};

addressTypeImp.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "addressType.h"

using namespace std;

addressType::addressType(string theStreet, string theCity, string theState, string theZipCode)
{
	streetAddress = theStreet;
	city = theCity;
	state = theState;
	zipCode = theZipCode;
}

addressType::addressType()  //default constructor
{
	streetAddress = "";
	city = "";
	state = "";
	zipCode = "";
}

thanks

In the header file, you need to tell the compiler that string is
in namespace std

 class addressType
{
public:

	addressType(std::string theStreet, std::string theCity, 
                                     std::string theState, std::string theZipCode);
	addressType();

private:
	std::string streetAddress;
	std::string city;
	std::string state;
	std::string zipCode;
};

(also, you should pass by const reference instead of by value in
the constructor).

thanks, but I found what the problem was. I had this problem before in the past

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#include "addressType.h"

I had to put "using namespace std;" before the header include.

this fixed things

thanks

In the end it's really your choice but read this
