I'm getting some error c3867( when trying to compile the code below,
for example:
"error C3867: 'Animal::sleep': function call missing argument list; use '&Animal::sleep' to create a pointer to member" at line 47, hammertime.sleep;
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Animal
{
protected:
int age;
string type;
public:
void sleep() { cout << type << " : Sleeping" << endl; }
void eat() {cout << type << " : Eating" << endl; }
int getAge() { return age; }
string getType() { return type; }
Animal(int argAge) : age(argAge) {}
Animal() : age(0),type("Animal") {}
Animal::Animal(int, string);
};
class Lion : Animal
{
public:
void sleep() { cout << "The lion is sleeping" << endl; }
};
class Hamster : Animal
{
public:
void eat() { cout << "The hamster is eating" << endl; }
};
char YorN;
string aniType;
int eatOrSleep = 0;
int check = 0;
int main()
{
Lion scar;
scar.eat;
Hamster hammertime;
hammertime.sleep;
cout << "Would you like to create a new animal? y/n" << endl;
cin >> YorN;
if (YorN == 'y' || YorN == 'Y'){
cout << "What kind of animal?:" << endl;
cin >> aniType;
Animal newAnimal(0,aniType);
cout << "Congratualtions, you just created a" << newAnimal.getType << endl;
do
{
cout << "Enter either 1, 2 or 3:" << endl <<
"1: Makes your animal sleep" << endl <<
"2: Makes your animal eat" << endl <<
"3: Exit the program" << endl;
cin >> eatOrSleep;
if (eatOrSleep == 1)
{
newAnimal.sleep;
}
else if (eatOrSleep == 2)
{
newAnimal.eat;
}
else if (eatOrSleep == 3)
{
check = 1;
break;
}
} while (check == 0 );
}
return 0;

For instance, take this code:
if (eatOrSleep == 1)
{
newAnimal.sleep;
}
else if (eatOrSleep == 2)
{
newAnimal.eat;
}
newAnimal.sleep
and newAnimal.eat
are functions. To call them, you need to use the syntax newAnimal.sleep()
and newAnimal.eat()
.
