WHy am i getting tons of errors, like 81 of them (easy example gone bad)

[struntz]

hello everyone....
i am having some problems making a simple class and setting its data members using accessor functions, i get tons of errors, whats wrong? i made all the methods inline, thats why i don't have like Employee::GetAge() {}
here is the code for the .cpp file:

#include "Employee.hpp"


int main() {

Employee Cory;
Cory.SetAge(15);
Cory.SetSalary(100000);
Cory.SetyearsOfservice(4);

cout << Cory.GetAge << endl;
cout << Cory.GetSalary << endl;
cout << Cory.GetyearsOfService << endl;

here is the code for the .hpp file:

#include <iostream.h>

class Employee
{
 public:
        void SetAge(int EAge) {age = EAge;}                     //inline
        void SetyearsOfService(int yOf) {yearsOfService = yOf;} //inline
        void SetSalary(int Money) {Salary = Money;}             //inline

        int GetAge() {return age;}                             //inline
        int GetyearsOfservice() {return yearsOfservice;}        //inline
        int GetSalary() {return Salary;}                        //inline


 private:
         int age;
         int yearsOfservice;
         int Salary;

 };

You missed the last } off your main() function. Also, it needs to return a value (just stick return 0; at the end).

Those are not inline functions.

inline int add(int one, int two) 
{
    return one+two;
}

An inline function is when the function call is replaced with actual code when the program is compiled.

If the function is small, and you are only calling it a few times, it can really speed up execution, but if you call it too many times, or the function is big, it will make your executable very large.

Is it normal to give a header file the extension .hpp? I'm sure it will work just fine, but I've never seen it before.

[parksie]

It's all down to personal preference -- you can use any file as a header.

Many C++ programmers use .cpp and .hpp to distinguish between .c and .h

Anyway, struntz, what is the entire compiler output?
