Note: see lines 26-28 in ResistorMain.cpp file this is pertaining to my question
Note: driver file ResistorMain.cpp was given to me as well as some of the functions in Resisitor.cpp.
I keep running around this and cannot seem to get this one part to compile correctly.
This code requires a class header file and two .cpp files.

the errors I receive when floating my cursor on the value is: Error no instance of constructor "CResistor::CResistor" matches the argument list.

The complied Error I get for all three(yes There are three: line 26 4700.0 line 27 330.0 line 28 10000.0 ) values where the error is states \resistormain.cpp(26): error C2661: 'CResistor::CResistor' : no overloaded function takes 4 arguments.

My question is how can I resolve this error and what do I need to add to the header file or the secondary cpp file to accomplish this?

A point in the right Direction or an addition to my files given is much appreciated.
I am so close I just need help on this one part!

If you read the class description in Resistor.h you will notice that none of the three constructors takes 4 arguments. If you are not allowed to change that, then your only alternative is to change the lines in ResistorMain.cpp by removing one of the arguments so that they match the argument list in the class constructor, probably by removing the 3d argument in lines 26,27 and 28 because none of the 3 constructors have a char* parameter.

thank you for the response as I stated that the ResistorMain.cpp was a given.
If changes are to be made I would like them to be in either the Resistor.h header or the Resistor.cpp file as these can be changed.

In that case just either change one of the constructors or add another one.

I understand that however I am still confused on which to change do I just define the value or is there more. Please remember I am still new at this and this part of the code is all I need in order to compile without errors.

I don't see where you implement the methods sepcified in Resistor.h. Instead, you've implemented two standalone functions, and then provided prototypes for them in ResistorMain.cpp.

Meanwhile, you have code that tries to create a new resistor object by passing what appears to be a nominal-resistance, a percentage tolerance, a name C-string, and a flag for whether to display the name. So Resistor.h needs a line (maybe after 17) that looks like:

CResistor(float nominal_resistance, float tolerance, const char *name, bool display);

and Resistor.cpp needs a method-body for it that starts with

CResistor::CResistor(float nominal_resistance, float tolerance, const char *name, bool display)
{
    // ininitialize members here
}

(and so on for each of the other methods specified).

so basically all I need to do is initializes the variables however once I added
the constructor I get an error: warning C4305: 'argument' : truncation from 'double' to 'float' is there something else I need to do?
