I have to create a structure array that contains the title, director, year made, and run time of a list of 4 movies. Then I need to create a function to display the contents of the array. Then ask the user what movie they'd like to search for. Create a function to do a linear search and then display the information for the movie or display invalid entry.
I keep getting a lot of errors in my code.
These are the most common:
movie.cpp:48: error: no matching function for call to 'Movie::Movie(const char [9], const char [10], int, int)'
movie.cpp:29: note: candidates are: Movie::Movie(int, int)
movie.cpp:23: note: Movie::Movie(const Movie&)


movie.cpp:59: error: invalid conversion from 'Movie*' to 'int'
movie.cpp:59: error: initializing argument 1 of 'Movie::Movie(int, int)'

movie.cpp:73: error: no match for 'operator[]' in 'Info[value]'

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Why isn't the function recognizing the structure? Did I enter it in wrong?

Thanks,

You need to make your constructer call for the Movie class match the constructor definition for starters.

Your displayInfo() and searchList() functions in there prototype do not state they accept an array of of the structure Movie, but they do in their definitions.

I was able to clear up most the problems, I'm getting a new error though,

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
search(Movie*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&)/var/tmp//ccR5eYLm.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


How do I fix this? I have included string, and iostream.
