I have to create a class with a default and alt constructor to fill an inventory array of seven elements. Only one dimentional first error is a
1>e:\invclass\invclass.cpp\invclass.cpp\invclass.cpp(83) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
here is my class code why won't this compile I don't understand?

Includes are not statements - remove the trailing ;

Also, which is the real line 83?
This code looks edited compared to what you compiled.

> cout << " The inventory total is " << itemNUM <<" items.\n";
itemNum isn't declared anywhere.
But that's on line 128.

You have problems with semicolons.
Lines 48-50: remove semicolon between function name and round brackets. You can also delete semicolon at the end of each of these lines.
Line 51: missing semicolon after return totalCost line 69: missing semicolon at the end of the line
