Help error C2659

[cindl24]

I am brand new to posting for help on a forum as well as C++. So, if posted to much code, let me know and I will fix it in the future. I am trying to do a lab in a class in which I have to create 3 classes (each with a .h and .cpp file) as well as a main .cpp file to print out some info. However, when I run the program I am getting a C2659 error which is "function left as an operand" for each of my Setter statements in the class file. Please help. I have already spent way too much time banging my head against the wall on this lab assignment. Thanks!


#include "ATeacher.h"
#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>

ATeacher::ATeacher()
{
}

ATeacher::ATeacher(std::string fName, std::string lName)
{
std::string firstName = fName;
std::string lastName = lName;

}

ATeacher::ATeacher(std::string fName, std::string lName, int age, std::string address, std::string city, int phone)
{
std::string firstName = fName;
std::string lastName = lName;
int aAge = age;
std::string aAddress = address;
std::string aCity = city;
int phoneNumber = phone;
}

ATeacher::~ATeacher()
{
}

void ATeacher::SetFirstName(std::string fName)
{
this->firstName = fName;
}

std::string ATeacher::GetFirstName()
{
return this ->firstName; <error C2659: '=': function as left operand>
}

void ATeacher::SetLastName(std::string lName)
{
this->lastName = lName; <error C2659: '=': function as left operand>
}

std::string ATeacher::GetLastName()

{

}

can you post the exact error and where it occurs, the code you have posted doesn't seem to have any error.

please use code tags when you post your spinets.

I added the error messages in there. Thank you for the help.

[SECMoG1T]

please post the code in Ateacher.h so we can look at it.

[cindl24]

Here it is:

#pragma once
#include <string>

class ATeacher
{
private:
std::string firstName();
std::string lastName();

int aAge;

std::string aAddress();
std::string aCity();

int phoneNumber;

public:
int count;
ATeacher();
ATeacher(std::string fName, std::string lName);
ATeacher(std::string fName, std::string lName, int age, std::string address, std::string city, int phone);
~ATeacher();

void SetFirstName(std::string fName);
std::string GetFirstName();

void SetLastName(std::string lName);
std::string GetLastName();

void SetAge(int age);
int GetAge();

void SetAddress(std::string address);
std::string GetAddress();

void SetCity(std::string city);
std::string GetCity();

void SetPhoneNumber(int phone);
int GetPhoneNumber();

void GradeStudent();

void SitInClass();




};

here are your errors

class ATeacher
{
private:
std::string firstName();///this are suppossed to be member variables not function declarations.
std::string lastName();

int aAge;

std::string aAddress();
std::string aCity();

int phoneNumber;

i think this is what you meant.

class ATeacher
{
private:
std::string firstName;
std::string lastName;

int aAge;

std::string aAddress;
std::string aCity;

int phoneNumber;

Oh my gosh...Thank You!!

I have been taking online courses and am now on the intermediate course.

I have been at this all of 6 weeks, so I believe I am definitely a rank newbie.

I have been taking online courses all the best.
