    Help with Cartesian class

    I am trying to make a program with a Cartesian class that allows the user to enter 2 coordinates and displays these coordinates. When I try to compile it, I get a message saying the x and y in x=c and y=d don't name a type. How can I fix this? Also, how would I go about inserting an assignment function that assigns the values of coord1 to coord2?
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <istream>
    #include <ostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Cartesian
    {
    private:
    double x;
    double y;
    public:
    Cartesian( double= 0, double= 0);
    friend istream& operator>>(istream&, Cartesian&);
    friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const Cartesian&);
    double c;
    double d;
    x=c;
    y=d;
    
    };
    
    Cartesian::Cartesian(double a, double b)
    {
        x=a;
        y=b;
    }
    
    istream& operator>>( istream& in, Cartesian& num)
    {
    	in >> num.x;
    	in >> num.y;
        
    
    return in;
    }
    
    ostream& operator<<( ostream& out, const Cartesian& num)
    {
    	cout << "(" << num.x << ", " << num.y << ")" << endl;
    
    return out;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
    	Cartesian coord1, coord2;
        cout << "Please enter the first x-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord1.c;
    	cout << "Please enter the first y-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord1.d;
    	 cout << "Please enter the second x-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord2.c;
    	cout << "Please enter the second y-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord2.d;
    	
    
    	cout << coord1;
    	cout << coord2;
    
    	
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    Code:
    double c;
    double d;
    x=c;
    y=d;
    Just remove these lines as c and d aren't used. You can't do an assignment when the compiler expects a definition/declaration.

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    Okay so I did that, but now I get these errors
    prog.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
    prog.cpp:45:16: error: ‘class Cartesian’ has no member named ‘c’
    cin >> coord1.c;
    ^
    prog.cpp:47:16: error: ‘class Cartesian’ has no member named ‘d’
    cin >> coord1.d;
    ^
    prog.cpp:49:16: error: ‘class Cartesian’ has no member named ‘c’
    cin >> coord2.c;
    ^
    prog.cpp:51:16: error: ‘class Cartesian’ has no member named ‘d’
    cin >> coord2.d;
    ^

    Here is my current code
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <istream>
    #include <ostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Cartesian
    {
    private:
    double x;
    double y;
    public:
    Cartesian( double= 0, double= 0);
    friend istream& operator>>(istream&, Cartesian&);
    friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const Cartesian&);
    
    };
    
    Cartesian::Cartesian(double a, double b)
    {
        x=a;
        y=b;
    }
    
    istream& operator>>( istream& in, Cartesian& num)
    {
    	in >> num.x;
    	in >> num.y;
        
    
    return in;
    }
    
    ostream& operator<<( ostream& out, const Cartesian& num)
    {
    	cout << "(" << num.x << ", " << num.y << ")" << endl;
    
    return out;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
    	Cartesian coord1, coord2;
        cout << "Please enter the first x-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord1.c;
    	cout << "Please enter the first y-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord1.d;
    	 cout << "Please enter the second x-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord2.c;
    	cout << "Please enter the second y-coordinate: ";
    	cin >> coord2.d;
    	
    
    	cout << coord1;
    	cout << coord2;
    
    	
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    Okay so I made some more changes to my code and it runs now but it doesn't allow the user to enter coordinates. What am I doing wrong?
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <istream>
    #include <ostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Cartesian
    {
    private:
    double x;
    double y;
    public:
    Cartesian( double= 0, double= 0);
    friend istream& operator>>(istream&, Cartesian&);
    friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const Cartesian&);
    }
    ;
    
    Cartesian::Cartesian(double a, double b)
    {
        x=a;
        y=b;
    }
    
    istream& operator>>( istream& in, Cartesian& num)
    {
    	in >> num.x;
    	in >> num.y;
        
    
    return in;
    }
    
    ostream& operator<<( ostream& out, const Cartesian& num)
    {
    	cout << "(" << num.x << ", " << num.y << ")" << endl;
    
    return out;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
    	double x1, x2, y1, y2;
    	Cartesian coord1(x1, y1), coord2(x2, y2);
    	cout << "Please enter the first coordinates: ";
    	cin >> coord1;
    	cout << "Please enter the second coordinates: ";
    	cin >> coord2;
    	cout << coord1;
    	cout << coord2;
    
    	
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    Well it's time to learn the debugger and use it to know what where and why in your code goes wrong.

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    What type of debugger are we talking about?

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    Also, what is the syntax for writing a memberwise assignment function within a class?

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    You are trying to make things more complicated than they are.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    class Cartesian
    {
    private:
    	double x;
    	double y;
    
    public:
    	Cartesian( double a = 0, double b = 0) : x(a), y(b){}
    
    	friend istream& operator>>(istream&, Cartesian&);
    	friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const Cartesian&);
    };
    
    istream& operator>>(istream& in, Cartesian& num)
    {
    	cin >> num.x >> num.y;
    	return in;
    }
    
    ostream& operator<<( ostream& out, const Cartesian& num)
    {
    	cout << "(" << num.x << ", " << num.y << ")" << endl;
    	return out;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
    Cartesian	coord1,
    		coord2,
    		coord3;
    
    	cout << "Please enter the first coordinates: ";
    	cin >> coord1;
    
    	cout << "Please enter the second coordinates: ";
    	cin >> coord2;
    
    	coord3 = coord1;
    
    	cout << coord1;
    	cout << coord2;
    	cout << coord3;
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    Re: Help with Cartesian class

    The declaration for an addition function for the class would be
    Code:
    Cartesian operator+(const Cartesian& rh);
    This would allow two classes of type Cartesian to be added. ie
    Code:
         coord3 = coord1 + coord2;
    - although the body of the definition will need to be written!

    This overloads the operator + to be defined for the class Cartesian. Similary, you could overload the operators +=, -=, -, * etc to perform these operations for the Cartesian class.

    With this class as it currently is, you don't need to provide either an assignment or a copy constructor as the default ones provided by the compiler are sufficient because no dynamic storage is involved.
