Error: expected unqualified-id before '.' token

yevo (2)
Good evening. I am doing an assignment for my class. I am using codeblock. My assigment is to implement a circular queue. My code is below, as well the error. From reading previous forum it seems is a syntax error but I cant tell what wrong with that lines.

Error:
E:\CodeBlocks\cirstack.cpp||In function 'int main()':|
E:\CodeBlocks\cirstack.cpp|126|error: expected unqualified-id before '.' token|

Call the function on the variable, not on the class.

CircStack cap(5);
cap.push(5.0);
cap.size();
cap.peek();

After you instantiate an object (at line 125) you have to call the methods on the instance. This means

cap.push(...);
cap.size();
...
