HELP ME debug!!!!!!

[rapter_F22]

I am just learning how to program and i am having a very hard time learning how to us classes in c++.

I have writen a program but it refuses to work.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <vcl.h>
#include <iostream.h>


class Point
{
private:
double x;
double y;
public:
double getX();
double getY();
Point(double xx, double yy);

};



int main()

{
int i;
int stop;
double x1;
double y1;
//trying to create 5 object variable of Point with arrary
Point P[5];

for (i=0;i<5;i++)
{
cin>>x1;
cin>>y2;
Point P=Point(x1,y1);
cout<<"For the point "<<i+1<<endl;
cout<<P.getX()<<" "<< P.getY()<<endl;

}

cin>>stop;
}

double Point::getX()
{
return x;
}

double Point::getY()
{
return y;
}

Point:oint(double xx, double yy)
{
x=xx;
y=yy;
}


Thank you for any help!!!!!!!

Where is it not working?

 

[rapter_F22]

I can not get the array to work or the constructor to work.

 

[cack01]

change the line : Point P=Point(x1,y1);

to: Point P=Point.Point(x1,y1);

I'm pretty sure the compiler thinks your creating another Point type object.

 

[rapter_F22]

Ok I did that but I am getting an error at point [5]. The error is cannnot find default constructor to initialize array element of type 'point'

 

[cack01]

This is a long shot:

make a public function called Point();

then its prototype will be:
Point:oint() {x=y=0;}

change your Point(double xx, double yy);
to:
Setpoint(double xx, double yy);
and then change where needed.

again this is a long shot, but I think this will get around the initialization problem. I could help you more, but I just got to the chapter on default constructers about 2 hours ago . But I'll keep trying.

Modifications I have made have comments with three asterisks to mark the points where I did the modifications.

There were around 3 mistakes you made

Here's the code

#include <iostream.h>
#include <vcl.h>

class Point
{
private:
double x;
double y;
public:
double getX();
double getY();
// ***Give xx and yy a default value
// You didnt include this, thats why the line where you were
// trying to declare an array variable of type Point was flaging
// an error
Point(double xx=0,double yy=0);
};

Point :: Point(double xx, double yy)
{
x=xx;
y=yy;
}

double Point::getX()
{
return x;
}

double Point::getY()
{
return y;
}

int main()
{
int i;
int stop;
double x1;
double y1;
//trying to create 5 object variable of Point with arrary
Point P[5];

for (i=0;i<5;i++)
{
cin >> x1;

// *** You declared a variable by the name of y1 and were
// trying to use a variable by the name of y2 instead
cin >> y1;

// *** You did Point P=Point(x1,y1); WRONG. Its done like this
P = Point(x1,y1);

cout<<"For the point "<<i+1<<endl;

cout<<P.getX()<<" "<< P.getY()<<endl;
}

cin>>stop;

return 0; // ***Remember always to return something
}
