Question

The following program generates an error. Why? #include #include using namespace std; class Arcade { public: Arcade(); Arcade(string name, int r); void Print(); private: string arcName; int rating; }; Arcade:: Arcade() { arcName = "New"; rating = 1; } Arcade:: Arcade(string name, int r) { arcName = name; rating = r; } void Arcade:: Print() { cout << "Name is: " << arcName << endl; cout << "Rating is: " << rating << " stars" << endl; } int main() { Arcade myArc(Games Ablaze, 5); myArc.Print(); }

Answer 1

The object creation should be Arcade myArc("Games Ablaze",5);

Why does the program generate an error?

The class definition is correctly defined and implemented;

The methods in the class are also correctly defined and implemented.

The error in the program is from the main method i.e.

int main() {

Arcade myArc('ames Ablaze, 5);

myArc.Print();

}

In the class definition;

Variable name was declared as string and variable rating was declared as integer

This means that, a string variable or value must be passed to name and an integer value or variable to rating.

Having said that:

Arcade myArc(Games Ablaze, 5); passes Games Ablaze as a variable to th function.

Game Ablaze is an incorrect string declaration in C++ because of the space in between Game and Ablaze

Also, no value has been assigned to the variable (assume the variable definition is correct).

This will definitely raise an error.

To correct the error, rewrite the object creation as:

Arcade myArc("Games Ablaze",5); where "Game Ablaze" is passed as string
