My error is line 50 (Register::Register(int defRec = 10, int defReg = 0)) I get addition of default argument on redeclaration makes this constructor a default constructor
I am using xcode and it wont run, but in visual it does and says nothing. I would like it to run in xcode.

Is there anyway of fixing this?`

The default values go in the declaration, on line 32.

The default arguments should be in the class declaration (header), not in the definition. Some compilers may accept this, but many will not.

And also ...

for starters ...

you need a destructor (to plug your memory leak) ...
and probably a copy constructor ...
and your code for the overloaded assignment operator is 'interesting' :)

Fix the above first ...

then (any) other errors will manifest more clearly :)

But if you are using ... not excessively large,

'pre-fixed max-size receipt tapes' ...
on each of your simulated 'cash-registers' ...

probably a much better idea than messing about with dynamic memory,
would be to just use an array,
pre-fixed at compile time,
to hold each 'max-sized receipt tape'

Maybe (an edit of your code) could be ... a little something like this:

// classCashRegister3.cpp //

#include <iomanip>
