Hi, I cannot seem to understand why am I getting this error:

\main.cpp(8): error C3867: 'Mammal::getName': non-standard syntax; use '&' to create a pointer to member

int main() {

	Mammal mammal = Dog("Doggie Name", 12, 3);
	
	std::cout << "Printing doggie name! " << mammal.getName << std::endl;

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

You need to use parentheses if you wish to call the function.

 
 
std::cout << "Printing doggie name! " << mammal.getName() << std::endl;
