Classes and Object oriented stuff

[The.Merridian]

I'm going bonkers and I can't figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. :\

I have to modify a program from the text book so that it's output looks something like this:

Instructor name: John Doe
New instructor name: Professor Xavier

Welcome to the grade book for Intro to C++ programming!

I can get it to run, except when I try to create an object in the main function.

//function main
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

#include "GradeBook.h"

int main()
{
    GradeBook myGradeBook;
   
    cout << "running..." << endl;

   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

// gradebook.cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include "GradeBook.h"

GradeBook::GradeBook( string name, string iname )
{
   setCourseName( name );
   setInstructor( iname );
} 

void GradeBook::setCourseName( string name )
{
   courseName = name; 
}

string GradeBook::getCourseName()
{
   return courseName;
}

void GradeBook::setInstructor( string iname )
{
   instructorName = iname; 
}

string GradeBook::getInstructor()
{
   return instructorName;
}

// gradebook.h
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class GradeBook
{
public:
   GradeBook( string, string );
   void setCourseName( string );
   string getCourseName();
   void setInstructor( string );
   string getInstructor();
   void displayMessage();
private:
   string courseName; 
   string instructorName;
};

The assignment is in Deitel's C How to Program 5th Edition, Chapter 19. Review question 19.11

DevC++ is giving me "no matching function for call to `GradeBook::GradeBook()' " on line 13 on main.cpp. I'm not understanding or even seeing that error.

Thanks for any help.

**EDIT: Proof I've been starring at this too long...I was missing parenthesis, but I'll probably need help anyway. o_o **

Nope, still stuck...

                   }

Thank you. I got the program functioning correctly now

[landonmkelsey]

lest the exercise be in vain, spend some time understanding the concepts

ask a question and get answers

C++ requires prodigious study

One may put in cout statements to trace the operation of the program

BTW C# has "properties" that get rid of the clutter of set and get methods
