Question

I’ve got:

error a1 was not declared in this scope

Can somebody please explain why this code causes that?

quiz.h

#ifndef QUIZ_H_
#define QUIZ_H_

    #include "quiz.cpp"   // I deleted this row
                          // and wrote void quiz(int i);


    class A {
    private:
        int player;
    public:
        A(int initPlayer);  // wrote here = 0
        ~A();
        void foo();
    };


    #endif /* QUIZ_H_ */

quiz.cpp

#include "quiz.h"
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

A::A(int initPlayer = 0){    // deleted = 0
    player = initPlayer;
}

A::~A(){

}

void A::foo(){
    cout << player;
}

main function

#include "quiz.h"
int main()
{
        quiz(7);
        return 0;
}

quiz function

#include "quiz.h"

void quiz(int i)
{
        A a1(i);
        a1.foo();
}

after my modifications I have an error multiple definition of quiz(int)

Answer 1

You should not be including the .cpp file in the header. Remove:

#include "quiz.cpp"

Also, the default value in:

A::A(int initPlayer = 0){

should be in the header file instead.

And edit your question provide the names of all your files, so we can tell you how to compile and link them.
