I am writing a program to input data from a file, format it and then output to another file. For some reason when i make the file I get this error:
----jGRASP exec: make
g++ -ggdb -c Billionaire.cpp
iostream:39:0,
from Billionaire.cpp:7:
c:\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.8.1\include\c++\ostream: In constructor 'Billionaire::Billionaire()':
ostream:384:7: error: 'std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>::basic_ostream() [with _CharT = char; _Traits = std::char_traits<char>]' is protected
basic_ostream()
^
Billionaire.cpp:13:26: error: within this context
Billionaire::Billionaire()
^
makefile:4: recipe for target 'Billionaire.o' failed
make: *** [Billionaire.o] Error 1
----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 2.
----jGRASP: operation complete.
Can anyone shed some light on thei error? I don't understand why the constructor is prducing an error with the ostream.
My code:
BSTProject.cpp
