C++ Overloaded Constructor issues

Question

I'm trying to create an overloaded constructor inside my player.cpp but it's giving me the error that there is no instance of overloaded function "player:player" matches the specified type.

Here is the header for reference

#ifndef PLAYER_H
#define PLAYER_H

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

using namespace std;

class player{
public:

//Data members
string name;
int lvl;
int exp;    
double maxweight;
double currentweight;
int health;
int strenght;
int defence;
DLinkedList<Item> inventory;

//Constructor
player();
player(string name, int level, int experience, double maxweight, double currentweight, int health, int strenght, int defence, DLinkedList<Item> inventory);
~player();  
};

#endif

and here is the .cpp

#include "player.h"
#include "Item.h"
#include "DLinkedList.h"

// ----------------------------------------------------------------
//  Name:           Constructor
//  Description:    Constructor
//  Arguments:      
//  Return Value:   None.
// ----------------------------------------------------------------

player::player(){
    this ->name = "default";
    this ->lvl = 99;
    this ->exp = 99;
    this ->maxweight = 99;
    this ->currentweight = 99;
    this ->health = 99;
    this ->strenght = 99;
    this ->defence = 99;
    this ->inventory;
}

player::player(string name, int level, int experience, double maxweight, double currentweight, int health, int strenght, int defence, DLinkedList<Item> inventory){
    this ->name = name;
    this ->lvl = lvl;
    this ->exp = exp;
    this ->maxweight = maxweight;
    this ->currentweight = currentweight;
    this ->health = health;
    this ->strenght = strenght;
    this ->defence = defence;   
    this ->inventory = inventory;
}

Here is the main where I create the player object

DLinkedList<player> list;   
DLinkedList<Item> inventory;

//creates and appends a few default players to the linked list
player player1 = player("Jeremy", 2, 4 ,95, 5, 4, 3, 2, inventory);


list.Append(player1);

I am pretty sure that is wrong however since I want each inventory to be unique to each player.

Here is some of the output errors related to the issue

Answer 1

You forgot to:

#include "DLinkedList.h"

in player.h. That causes an error in line 22:

DLinkedList<Item> inventory;

because DLinkedList is unknown to the compiler.
