return the value in a struct from method of a class

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct AccountInfo
{
    int Acnumber;
    char ID;
};

class Account
{
    public:
        AccountInfo Operation(void)
        {
            AccountInfo s;
            s.ID = 'M';
            return s;

        }
};

int main()
{
    Account a;
    AccountInfo s = a.Operation();
    cout << s.ID << endl;

    return 0;
}

I am trying to return the values given to a structure inside the method of a class. The code compiles with errors. I tried using an object, it compiles successfully, but doesn't output anything.

What is the problem with my code?

struct Operation(void)

What type does this function return? It can't be struct because that's not a type, it's a keyword denoting a structure definition. Judging from the return value and how you are using it, I'm assuming you're trying to return an AccountInfo object:

AccountInfo Operation()
{
    AccountInfo s;
    s.ID = 'M';
    return s;
}

The void is also not needed for empty parameters. Moreover, you need to make the type of s in main() AccountInfo as well:

int main()
{
    Account a;
    AccountInfo s = a.Operation();
}

Change struct to AccountInfo everywhere except for the initial declaration.
