Hi, I'm trying to get a default constructor working so it can work with 0 or 4 values, so I used a constructor with 4 values that could be used or default values if there was none.

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

using namespace std;


class tester

{

public:

	int field1;

	int field2;

	int field3;

	int field4;


	tester (int var1, int var2, int var3, int var4);

	//tester (void);

}


tester::tester (int var1=10, int var2=11, int var3=12, int var4=13): field1(var1), field2(var2), field3(var3), field4(var4)

{

	cout << "Initialized constructor called." << endl;

}

/*

tester::tester(void)

{

	cout << "Default constructor called." << endl;

}

*/


int main () {

	tester ex1;

	cout << "Field 1 = " << ex1.field1 << endl

		<< "Field 2 = " << ex1.field2 << endl

		<< "Field 3 = " << ex1.field3 << endl

		<< "Field 4 = " << ex1.field4 << endl;

	tester ex2 (1,2,3,4);


	cout << "Field 1 = " << ex2.field1 << endl

		<< "Field 2 = " << ex2.field2 << endl

		<< "Field 3 = " << ex2.field3 << endl

		<< "Field 4 = " << ex2.field4 << endl;


	return 0;

}

The warning messages indicate my constructor has a return type, but it clearly doesn't. I tried changing to void and it returns more errors. Can anyone help me spot the problem?

Thanks,

Haha, so close. Cheers mate.

I'm kicking myself here, 2 mistakes I've made with classes has been a uppercase P for public: and a missing ;. Usually the compiler errors are usually quite clear, this, was not.

Anyway, you restored my sanity so +1 rep heading your way.

lol. I miss that all the time, so I'm used to seeing a similar message. :P
