Can't figure out what i'm doing wrong?

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

class RetailItem
{
private:
char *description;
int unitsOnHold;
double price;
public:
RetailItem(char *description,int stock,double price)
{
this->description = description;
unitsOnHold = stock;
double price = price;
}
int getStock()
{
return unitsOnHold;
}
double getPrice()
{
return price;
}
char *getDescription()
{
return description; 
}
void setStock(int stock)
{
unitsOnHold = stock;
}
void setdescription(char *ptr)
{
description = ptr;
}
void setPrice(double price)
{
price = price;
}
};
int main()
{
	RetailItem obj1("jacket",12,59.95);
	RetailItem obj2("Designer Jeans",40,34.95);
	RetailItem obj3("Shirt", 20, 24.95);

	cout << obj1 << endl;
	cout << obj2 << endl;
	cout << obj3 << endl;

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

This code will not compile, i can't figure out why. I'm trying to have it print out the each of the objects. Anyone see a problem?

You don't need semicolon after function definitions. You forgot the closing bracket for the class definition. You have not defined an istream& operator<<(istream&, const RetailItem&). Line 14 should be this->description = description;. Use const char* for the strings.

Updated code. i'm still having some trouble. I also am not sure what you mean by what i didn't define. You're gonna have to explain more i'm really slow with this stuff. Thanks!

What and how do you think this should work cout << obj1 << endl;? What I'm saying is that you have not defined the operator to make this possible.

Short, simple answer: make a print method for your objects, put this inside your class:

void print(ostream &out){
	out << description << "\nthere are " << unitsOnHold << "\nthey cost " price << "\n";
}

Then, instead of this:
cout << obj1 << endl;
Put this:
obj1.print(cout)

Thanks, i get what you meant now haha. All fixed :)
on another note, does anyone know how to create a UML diagram in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010?
