The prototype ... does not correspond to any class ... (error). g ++

Question

I get a very annoying error with my g ++ compiler in Ubuntu.

This is my code.

Employee.h

#ifndef Employee_h
#define Employee_h

#include<string>

using namespace std;

class Employee
{
    protected:
    int employeeNumber;
    string firstName;
    string lastName;
    string address;
    string telephone;
    double salary;
    int generateEmployeeNumber();

    public:
    Employee();
    Employee(string fin, string lan, string add, string tel, double sal);
    void setEmployeeName(string fin, string lan);   //start of setters
    void setEmployeeAddress(string add);
    void setEmployeeTelephone(string tel);
    void setEmployeeSalary(double sal);
    string getEmployeeFirstName();          //start of getters
    string getEmployeeLastName();   
    string getEmployeeAddress();
    string getEmployeeTelephone();
    double getEmployeeSalary();
    int show();
};
#endif

Employee.cpp

#include"Employee.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;

//start of constructors
Employee::Employee()
{

}

Employee::Employee(string fin, string lan, string add, string tel, double sal)
{
    firstName = fin;
    lastName = lan;
    address = add;
    telephone = tel;
    salary = sal;
}
//end of constructors

//start of setters
void Employee::setEmployeeName(string fin, string lan)
{
    cout<<"Please enter the Employee first name: ";
    cin>>fin;
    cout<<"Please enter the Employee last name: ";
    cin>>lan;

    firstName = fin;
    lastName = lan;
}

void Employee::setEmployeeAddress(string add)
{
    cout<<"Please enter the Employee address: ";
    cin>>add;
    address = add;
}

void Employee::setEmployeeTelephone(string tel)
{
    cout<<"Please enter the Employee telephone number: ";
    cin>>tel;
    telephone = tel;
}

void Employee::setEmployeeSalary(double sal)
{
    cout<<"Please enter the Employee monthly salary: R";
    cin>>sal;
    salary = sal;
}
//end of setters

//start of getters
string Employee::getEmployeeFirstName()
{
    return firstName;
}

string Employee::getEmployeeLastName()
{
    return lastName;
}

string Employee::getEmployeeAddress()
{
    return address;
}

string Employee::getEmployeeTelephone()
{
    return telephone;
}

double Employee::getEmployeeSalary()
{
    return salary;
}
//end of getters

And this is my ERROR:

Employee.cpp:31:6: error: prototype for ‘void Employee::setEmployeeName(std::string, std::string) does not match any in class ‘Employee
Employee.h:22:16: error: candidate is: void Employee::setEmployeeName()
Employee.cpp:42:6: error: prototype for ‘void Employee::setEmployeeAddress(std::string) does not match any in class ‘Employee
Employee.h:23:7: error: candidate is: int Employee::setEmployeeAddress(std::string)
Employee.cpp:49:6: error: prototype for ‘void Employee::setEmployeeTelephone(std::string) does not match any in class ‘Employee
Employee.h:24:7: error: candidate is: int Employee::setEmployeeTelephone(std::string)
Employee.cpp:56:6: error: prototype for ‘void Employee::setEmployeeSalary(double) does not match any in class ‘Employee
Employee.h:25:10: error: candidate is: double Employee::setEmployeeSalary(std::string)

Can anyone determine what is wrong?

Thank.

Ok, I found a problem. In the same directory there was some name of the file Employee.h.gwh, I have no idea where it came from, I deleted it and now I'm working. Thanks for the way.

Answer 1

The sources you correct are correct, so you must include another "Employee.h"... are you sure you are editing the correct files?
