Hi
I try to compile this program but I get a lot of errors because of
void hi(); function,
if I delete this function and all related data, the program is compiled
without any problems.
I am using g++ as a compiler (version 3.3.3) on linux Suse 9.1.
I have compiled similar programs several times before. I can't find the
error on my own.
Any sugession is appreciated.

cout << Frisky.hi(); //source of error
Your function hi has no return value, so its return value cannot be printed
on cout. Instead, just call:
Frisky.hi();

It appears you are not 'using' namespace std on you cout and endl's try
std::cout and std::endl - or using namespace statement (not recomended if
you are including the cc file with your header).

Hi ad
Thank you for you reply and help. I still have few questions because I do
not really understand what is going on.
First:
I am using this example from Teach yourself c++ in 21 days. I tried to use
#include <iostream.h> which of course have not work. Then I tried to use
#include <iostram> and using namespace std; which worked with all my
previous programs (it is clear that I am not quit understanding what I am
doing).
You have just found the mistake and it has something to do with namespace.
My question:
where should I use namespace. I have already use it on the second line of my
program which of course seems not to work,
Would you please elaborate on how and where should I use namespace.
Thank you once more for your help.

Hi Hesham,
From the code you posted, I noticed that you had a .h file containing
declarations, and a .cc file containing definitions.
Your using namespace statement was in your .h file, but it wasn't clear how
you were exposing the std namespace in your .cc file
In general, try to not use the using namespace statement in your .h files -
it can cause problems for clients of your library - instead, in your header
explicitly specify the namespace scope, and in your implementation (.cpp)
files use the using namespace notation.
..cc files are an exception to the rule - they are implementation files that
are effectively #included in other implementation files - so can cause the
same problems to client's as .h files - instead, treat them llike header
files in respect to namespaces, and explicitly specify the namespace you are
using.
Hope that helps,

Hi Raymond
Thank you for your reply and I think I must return back to the drawing
board and I must change the void function or as your advice skip it is
better.
It was also helpful from you to point me to the compiler error, where I
should concentrate my effort.
