Why am I getting these errors?

[tam13]

I get two error when I try to compile my code.
For this line:
if(it->getName == nam)

it tells me (No match for the 'operator=='in it.std::_List_Iterator<TP>::operator ->[with_TP= record]0->record::getName==nam )

and for this line:
int addRecord( list< record >& database )
{
I get, a function-definition is not allowed here berofe '{' token.

Can anyone explain to me why I'm getting these errors.
Thank you!

//returns a valid iterator if name is used already otherwise is returns 0

        return database.end();

Is getName actually a method, should you have a method call?

it->getName()

After line 13 you are missing a } (and a return statement.
