I am learning C++ and having difficulty getting my code to compile. I get errors while compiling using VS2010, everytime I attempt to fix the errors it seems to cause a snowball effect of compilation failures. Can someone look over the code and maybe give me some hints on how to fix it?

Hey,

Please indent your code properly.. Ok, so the only error(s) I could find was that you have a function called "deposit" and a variable with the same name.

This code is compiling for me:

Hope this helps you :)

P.S. Try avoiding inputting/outputting data within side your class functions. This is not good, especially if you wanted to use a different from of IO than cout, cin.

Try to avoid system calls in your program.

Thanks for the advice, I made some changes. Now I am stuck with a syntax error C2059 on one line.
menubuilder.cpp(77): error C2059: syntax error : '}'
I included my new code. Frankly, I am stumped on how to fix this one.

Consistent formatting is the key. See this and refine your indentation. I believe this will fix your problem when you indent properly.

Sorry, my formatting kind of stinks. Figured out the issue, cleaned it up. Compiles and tests out fine. Thanks, everyone!
