Cannot create my own date class

I tried to create my own class which contain three variable: day, month and year. And I add two operator to compare. here is my header file and cpp file:

Header:

#ifndef DATE_H
#define DATE_H

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include <array>
using namespace std;

class Date {
public:
    int day;
    int month;
    int year;
    Date(int m, int d, int y); 
    bool operator< (const Date &) const; 
    bool operator== (const Date &) const; 
}

#endif

CPP:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "date.h"

Date::Date(int m, int d, int y)
    :day(d),month(m),year(y){}

bool Date::operator< (const Date & d2) const
{
    bool result;
    if(year<d2.year){  
        result=true;
    }
    else if (year==d2.year&&month<d2.month){
        result=true;
    }
    else if (month==d2.month&&day<d2.day){
        result = true;
    }
    else{
        result = false;
    }
    return result;
}

bool Date::operator== (const Date & d2) const
{
    return (year==d2.year)&&(month==d2.month)&&(day==d2.day);
}

The error is

error C2533: 'Date::{ctor}' : constructors not allowed a return type

Thank you for the help!

the declaration of class or struct must end with ' ; '

The class definition lacks a semicolon at the end.

Other comments:

  • To avoid name collisions (e.g. with std::distance), do not put a using namespace std; in the global namespace in a header.

  • <stdafx.h> is a non-standard header, defined in your Visual Studio project, which makes that code dependent on Visual Studio. You can avoid it by turning off "precompiled headers" in the project settings.
