Declaration syntax error

[Blondie1966]

Im trying to write a program about a truck inventory with trucks coming and going and the amount in each one, but keep coming up with declaration syntax error.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im using Borland C++. Thanks

It would greatly help us if you would post the exact errors you are getting and indicate on what lines of the posted listing they occur.

However I notice that

Line 10/19: constructor name does not match class name

Line 29: Ransom code not actually in a function

Line 10/39 Declaration/definition class name mismatch

Line 48: main returns int NOT void, not { indicating the start of the main function.

Line 50, 51, 56: Random symbols not defined anywhere else

Line 60: random array syntax not attached to any symbol name

Points on style

class TRUCK(S) it is unusual styling, though not strictly wrong, for a class name to be all in capital letters and similarly it is also unusual styling for all member names to be in capitals. In my company all caps is reserved for consts and static consts.

Line 119: The factory function to create a TRUCK could be and probably would be better being a static member function of the class TRUCK

Line 139: a function like this to output a TRUCK would be better off being a member of TRUCK, however an alternitive would be to make an iostream helper function that handles the truck type allowing

cout << truck;

Also, :: (two colons) in scope resolution, like Classname::Functionname().... should not have space between them.

declaration syntax errors are on line 29 and 47 thanks for help

[sridhard2406]

In c++, main will have return type is int, you should mention as
int main( ),

Please try with, let us know, ur facing any other declaration error.

You are missing ; at the end of lines 28 and 46.

It is not uncommon for compiler errors to be reported on the first code line after then line with the error in it, particularly for things like missing ; and other syntax errors were the compiler can not tell there is a syntax error until it reads in the next bit of actual code.

[Blondie1966]

putting ; at the end of 28 and 46 didnt make any difference acutally give me a 3rd error

You may want to consider fixxing all the other issues I raised in post #3 and that other people have pointed out.

It is not unheard of of a syntax error to be hiding someother error in the code that only shows up after fixing the syntax error.

Your compile process (as a beginner) show be

1. Compile the code
2. If there are no errors and warnings stop
3. Fix the first error in compiler output the listing
4. goto 1

Once you gain experience you can fix more than one error at step 3 because you will learn which messages can be ignored as a symptom of a previous error.

ok I have went step by step and started with part of the program and compiled it slowly as I went and still having issues, I am like at the point that I have changed things so much that I am now totally lost to what I am doing and writing..I do appreciate everyones help but gettin to frustrated..you would think it would be something simple that I am overlooking but i have sat at it too long and cant seem to see whats wrong Thanks all

[Banfa]

If you have done a lot of changes I suggest you repost your code, remembering to put [code]...[/code] tags round it.

[Blondie1966]

Can I ask if anyone has run this program and not have any errors?? If so what did you change in order for it to work? Thanks
