I’m trying to learn c++ and I’ve stumbled upon a error while trying to figuring out inheritance.
Compiling: daughter.cpp In file included from /home/jonas/kodning/testing/daughter.cpp:1: /home/jonas/kodning/testing/daughter.h:6: error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds) 1 errors, 0 warnings
My files: main.cpp:
#include "mother.h"
#include "daughter.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
mother mom;
mom.saywhat();
return 0;
}
mother.cpp:
#include "mother.h"
#include "daughter.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
mother::mother()
{
//ctor
}
void mother::saywhat() {
cout << "WHAAAAAAT" << endl;
}
mother.h:
#ifndef MOTHER_H
#define MOTHER_H
class mother
{
public:
mother();
void saywhat();
protected:
private:
};
#endif // MOTHER_H
daughter.h:
#ifndef DAUGHTER_H
#define DAUGHTER_H
class daughter: public mother
{
public:
daughter();
protected:
private:
};
#endif // DAUGHTER_H
and daughter.cpp:
#include "daughter.h"
#include "mother.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
daughter::daughter()
{
//ctor
}
What I want to do is to let daughter inherit everything public from the mother class (=saywhat()). What am I doing wrong?
