c2062 "Type 'int' unexpected"

[sah15]

I'm having troubles with a code for a program (involving classes) where I am supposed to input the three sides of a triangle and the program determines whether the triangle is a right triangle, equilateral, isosceles, and scalene, etc.

I have only one error preventing me from compiling my program, and it is a c2062 "Type 'int' unexpected" error. It is related to a constructor I've written. If somebody can at least point out to me what's wrong and how to fix it, I would appreciate it.

At any rate, here's the header file:

#include<string>

using namespace std;

class Triangle  
{
private:
	int side1;
	int side2;
	int side3;
	int largest();
	int smallest();

public: 
	Triangle() ;     //Default Constructor
	Triangle(int side1, int side2, int side3);

	bool isRight();

	bool isEquilateral();

	bool isIsosceles();

	bool isScalene();

	void print();
};

And the Triangle.cpp file (different from the main function).

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include "Triangle.h"
#include <cmath>
Triangle::Triangle()
{
	side1=0;
	side2=0;
	side3=0;
}
Triangle(int side1,int side2,int side3);
int Triangle::largest()
{
	// For the largest side of the triangle:
	int largest=side1;
	
	if (side2 > largest)
	{
		largest=side2;
	}

	if (side3 > largest)
	{
		largest=side3;
	}
	;
}

int Triangle::smallest()
{
	int smallest=side1;
	
	if (side2 < smallest)
		{
			smallest=side2;
		}

	if (side3 < smallest)
		{
			smallest=side3;
		}
}

bool Triangle::isEquilateral()
{	
	if (largest() == smallest())
	{
		return true;
	}

	else 
	{
		return false;
	}
}

bool Triangle::isIsosceles()
	// If the triangle is isosceles or not.
{
	if (side1 == side2)
	{
		return true;
	}

	else if (side1 == side3)
	{
		return true;
	}

	else if (side2 == side3)
	{
		return true;
	}

	else if (side1 != side2 && side1 != side3 && side2 != side3)
	{
		return false;
	}
}	
bool Triangle::isScalene()
{
	if (isIsosceles()== true)
	{
		return false;
	}

	else 
	{
		return true;
	}
}

bool Triangle::isRight() 
{
	if ( pow((double) side1,2) == (pow((double) side2,2) + pow((double) side3,2)))
	{
		return true;
	}

	else if (pow((double) side2,2) == (pow((double) side1,2) + pow((double) side3,2)))
	{
		return true;
	}

	else if (pow((double) side3,2) == (pow((double) side1,2) + pow((double) side2,2)))
	{
		return true;
	}

	else
	{
		return false;
	}
}

void Triangle::print()
{
	cout << side1 << " " << side2 << " " << side3 << " " << "triangle:" << endl;
}

The error is specifically related to "Triangle(int side1,int side2,int side3);" Also, it does that no matter the variables within the three arguments after "Triangle"- it's just whenever I place "int" in there.

Thanks!

That's supposed to be the class constructor, so code it like this

Triangle::Triangle(int side1,int side2,int side3)
{

}

In addition, consider the overall design. Do you want to use integers as the values of the sides? I would use doubles. Be wary of comparing doubles using the == operator as you do in isRight () . There's a potential for round-off error. Since you are typecasting from integers and squaring, there may not be round-off error in your particular case. But you need to be very careful and aware.

}

Understood, but could you please tell me where exactly am I supposed to put the brackets? Not to be rude. I've tried doing that, but to no avail.

Then you did it wrong. Post what you tried.

Put them exactly as I posted them. Some people like to do it like below. Do it which ever way you want, or however your instructor told you to.

Triangle::Triangle(int side1,int side2,int side3) {

}

Look at line 13. Don't you see the error in that line?? Hint: look at the semicolon at the end of the line.

And you failed to add the class declaration Triangle::Triangle(i// blabla)

[WaltP]

Wasn't the offending line Triangle(int side1,int side2,int side3); ?
Why is it still in the code?

Unfortunately I did try adding the class declaration before and it resulted in a further error where Visual Express told me that there was an error in adding the class declaration again...

I'll try again.

If I tried removing the code then it would result in errors where the main program (which isn't posted) wouldn't know what to do with the Triangle.cpp file.

A constructor is needed, and the main issue is why int is "unexpected."

I posted it EXACTLY as you should have coded it. All you had to do is copy/paste into your program. You even quoted it just an hour ago (see your post #4 in this thread).
