Please help with classes

helpplease911 (37)
Apparently I've forgotten how to use classes. I am trying to input 5 different book names into a class along with each of the book's pages. I can't figure out how to put the values into the class. Please help.

book[x].setBook; //What are you setting it to?
book[x].setBook(bk);


Set pages are handled similary: you read int into temporary variable and pass it to setPages member function.

Post exact error here.
Also you didn't set pg anywhere.
