Question

I have 1 compiler error. It is from this line in my code:

cout << myClass->Get_Type().description; 

Where as Get_Type() is:

void Tile::Get_Type() {  
    return &myStruct;  
}

I’m not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Or what for that matter could be going wrong.

Answer 1

A function with a return type of void cannot return anything (that’s what the void means: the function does not return anything). You are trying to return something (the address of myStruct).

You either need to return nothing (i.e. change your return to just be return; or remove it entirely) or change the return type of the function from void to a pointer to whatever the type of myStruct is.
