Error: cannot bind 'std::istream

[ottob]

Hi all , I am getting a few errors when I run my program and I'm not sure why. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
This is what the compiler is telling me:

In function 'int main()':

The first problem is in line 51 and 52... You made NUM_HOUR a constant, then try to change it with cin in 75... and in 149...


Look how employee is used...

cout << "Enter their title: ";
					  cin >> employee[i].pData.title;
					  cout << "" << endl;
					  cout << "Enter the hours worked: ";
					  cin >> employee[i].hoursWorked;

					  // If hours worked is less than 0 or greater than 80, show error message
					  while (employee.hoursWorked < 0 || employee.hoursWorked > 80)
					  {
						  cout << "Incorrect input!" << endl;
						  cout << "" << endl;

You go from an element (Employee[i]... to an object employee.hoursworked.

Okay, now it compiles but it only asks for the first name then exits out of the program..

[pearlyman]

Really? It asks me for names of the hourly, then salaried...

Try cleaning your project, rebuild it from scratch.
