Question

I keep getting a compilier error whenever I run this… I am quite sure it is just something stupid that I am overlooking, so I though I would let you guys try.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class hi
{
public:
    string run()
    {
        hi = "Hello.";
        return hi;
    }
private:
    string hi;
}

int main()
{
    bool end = false;
    string in = "";
    string out = "";

    hi hi;

    while(end != true)
    {
        cout << "Input a Command: ";
        cin >> in;
//        if(in == "help")
//        {
//            out = help.run;
//        }
        if(in == "hi")
        {
            out = hi.run;
        }

        cout << out;
        in = "";
    }
    return 0;
}

I keep getting these errors:

|6|error: new types may not be defined in a return type|
|6|note: (perhaps a semicolon is missing after the definition of 'hi')|
|18|error: two or more data types in declaration of 'main'|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Answer 1

Near the end of your program you are closing more curly brackets than you have opened. You need to remove the curly bracket right before return 0;

Also you need to terminate your definition of class hi with a semicolon after the closing curly bracket, right before the definition of main().
