Question

#include <iostream>

class Car{
public:
    Car(float newSpeed = 0, double newHP = 100);

protected:
    double HP;

private:
    float speed;
};



Car::Car(float newSpeed, double newHP)
{
    speed = newSpeed;
    HP = newHP;
}

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    Car car(10, 100);
    return(0);
}

The above code does not compile with an error saying: “1>c:\users\aaron\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\ass3\ass3\main.cpp(9): error C2661: ‘Car::Car’ : no overloaded function takes 2 arguments”

I am not sure why. I first tried this with default arguments to the Car constructor

Car::Car(float newSpeed = 0, double newHP = 100);  

but that did not work either.

I have been working on this for 3 days now. any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

(Wild guess warning)

Based on all your descriptions in the comments, this looks like a situation where you have another car.h file somewhere on your computer. And the compiler is finding that one.

Since you’re in Windows, it may also be Car.h or CAR.H, etc.
