Abstract class inheritance issue

[IdivideBy0]

I am (still) working on a bank account project for school in which I instantiate and use different class objects - some of which are abstract class types.

The problem I am now having is deriving an abstract class from another abstract class such as this.

Thank you.

+----------------+
| bankAccount | Abstract class
+----------------+ contains fname, lname, bal
|
|
+----------------+
| checkingAccount| Abstract class
+----------------+ contains virtual function write check
|
|
+----------------+
| svcChgChecking | this is the class I need to instantiate
+----------------+

#ifndef BANK_ACCOUNT
#define BANK_ACCOUNT

#include <string>


using namespace std;

class bankAccount 
{
	public:

		 bankAccount(string fname="", string lname="", double bal = 0); //constructor
		 string getAccountHoldersFname() const; // Get account holders first name
		 string getAccountHoldersLname() const; // Get account holders last name
		 int getAccountNumber() const; 		//get account number
		 double getAccountBalance() const;  // get account balance

		//virtual void getMonthlyStatement(int month) = 0; // Print a statement

		virtual void getMonthlyStatement() = 0; // Print a statement
		virtual void deposit(double depositAmount) = 0; // Deposit money into the account

		virtual void withdraw(double withdrawAmount) = 0; // Withdraw money


	protected: // these can be used in derived classes

		string AccountHoldersFname;
		string AccountHoldersLname;
		int accountNumber;
		double balance;
};
#endif 

#ifndef CHECKING_ACCT
#define CHECKING_ACCT

#include "bankAccount.h"

class checkingAccount : public bankAccount
{

	public:

		checkingAccount(string fname, string lname, double bal);

		virtual void writeCheck() = 0; 

		// base class virtual functions that get overiden
		//void getMonthlyStatement();
		//void deposit(double depositAmount);
		//void withdraw(double withdrawAmount);

	protected:

		int checkCounter;
		double checkAmt;
};
#endif 

#ifndef SER_CHG_CHK
#define SER_CHG_CHK

#include "checkingAccount.h"

class serviceChargeChecking : public checkingAccount
{
	public:

		
		serviceChargeChecking(string fname, string lname, double bal, int checkLimit, double costToWrt);
		void writeCheck(double chkAmt);

		void getMonthlyStatement();
		void deposit(double depAmount);
		void withdraw(double withdrawAmount);

		void setCheckLimit(int chkLimit);
		int getCheckLimit() const;
		void setCostToWrite(double costToWrt);

	private:

So what is you problem or question?

Simply instantiate it using the constructor.

int main ()
{ serviceChargeChecking  svc_cng_chking ("fname", "lname", 100, 100, 0.10);
}

In my main program I am unable to instantiate an object of serviceChargeChecking

I am declaring it like so.

serviceChargeChecking objServiceChargeChecking(fname, lname, depAmount, 5, 2.50);

and during build the compiler complains of the object being an abstract class, - however it shouldn't be. I have no virtual functions in this derived class. I don't know what is wrong.

I have been programming this assignment non stop since last Thursday (probably have close to 40 hours on it), so forgive me if I seem vague on my responses. This assignment is due this Thursday and I am feeling pretty stressed out about it. Thanks.

The pv function in checkingAccount virtual void writeCheck() = 0;
takes 0 arguments. The function in serviceChargeChecking takes 1 argument
void writeCheck(double chkAmt); so there is still no implementation for writeCheck() in class serviceChargeChecking.
Did you mean to declare virtual void writeCheck(double chkAmt) = 0; in class checkingAccount?

I will try that in a couple of minutes. Makes sense as the compiler sees these as different funtions.


THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!! fun2code, that is exactly what the problem was.

Cheers!!
