Mar1990 (17)
Hello ,

I need to create a program to simulate waiting time, and I am following à tutorial on data structure c++ book, in the book they have only made function declaration and I need to put the .cpp file; my problem is that I got the error below :

invalid conversion from 'TimerType*' to 'int'

TimerType.h

JobType::JobType()

}


void JobType::IncrementWaitTime()
{

}

 int JobType::WaitTimeIs()
 {
     return waitTime;
 }

JobType::~JobType()
{
    //dtor
}

They gave the .h and I have to make the . cpp

they have as comment to return the waitTime and thet make it as object I am little bit confused

Could someone please help me

Thank you

jobtype.h line 24: waitTime is a TimerType.

jobtype.cpp line 14: You're saying WaitTimeIs() returns an int, however waitTime is a TimerType and you have not provided a conversion from a TimerType to an int.

Easiest fix is to change jobtype.cpp line 16 to:
 
 
  return waitTime.TimeIs();


A better fix would be to change WaitTimeIs() to return a TimerType.
