Question

Hi I am getting the following error when i am trying to compile my code.
error C2143: syntax error : missing ‘;’ before ‘.’ when i call

Points.addPoints();
Thanks for any help.

#ifndef _POINTS_H
#define _POINTS_H
//points.h 

#include <sstream>

using namespace std;


class Points{

int pointsADD;
int pointsRemove;
int newPoints;

public :


    Points(int points){this->pointsADD=points;this->pointsRemove=pointsRemove;this->newPoints=newPoints;}



void addPoints(int newPointsADD){
        newPoints=pointsADD+newPointsADD++;
    }

void removePoints(int newPointsRemove){
    newPoints=pointsRemove+newPointsRemove--;

}

int getPoints(){
    return newPoints;
}

};

#endif

You need an instance of the class to add anything. Read a good C++ introduction, and fix for now:

Points p(42);
p.addPoints(23);
