hello all
I am a second semester c++ college kid so bear with me
I am writing a program that takes in bank account info, sorts it, prints it, and then prompts the user if they would like to view any specific records via the account number or the name on the account
we have to compile in the terminal and code in Vi and here are the compile errors I am getting:
assign6.cpp: In member function ‘bool cAccountList::search()’:
assign6.cpp:174: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
assign6.cpp:176: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
i have never worked with the bool data type so I dont know if fuctions using it are more picky etc....
here is my code:
