any and all help is appreciated

I think you're trying to create the class without ctor args somewhere. So you can either create a default ctor or pass arguments, or do both.
Fumbles93 (10)
I'm a little confused by what you mean. I thought the constructor arguments was where it says:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
 
question(string Q, string A1, string A2, string A3, string A4, int CA)		// Constructor
	{
		questions = Q;
		answer1 = A1;
		answer2 = A2;
		answer3 = A3;
		answer4 = A4;
		correctAnswer = CA;
	}


or am i missing something?
Aceix (1118)
Yeah,
you must either create a default constructor(a ctor that takes no args) or pass the required args when declaring a type of your class.

Bourgond Aries (415)
You're probably creaing an object without passing arguments like:

 
 
question obj;


instead, it should be:

 
 
question obj("These", "Are", "Ctor", "Args", "D00d", 34);
Fumbles93 (10)
all i did was add:
1
2
3
4
 
question::question()
	{
		correctAnswer = 0;
	}


into the class and it fixed it. lol

Now the compiler has something to call upon object instantiation, I guess.

@ Bourgond Aries
normally i would have done that, but the problem needed an array.

Although, I probably could have done so anyways and just put the array into the main, instead of trying to call it from the class.
But then again, I'm not too sure how well that would have worked out.

In any case, thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

That's what is called default constructor.
