I'm lost. why won't my objects instantate?

Here's the code, compiler errors are below. thanks

class date
{
      private:
              char *mo;
              int day, yr;
              
      public:
              date()
                    {*mo = 0;
                    day = 0;
                    yr = 0;}
              
              date (char *m, int d, int y)
                   {mo = new char[strlen(m)+1];
                   strcpy(mo, m);
                   day = d;
                   yr = y;}
              
              date(const date &obj)
                   {mo = new char[strlen(obj.mo)+1];
                   strcpy(mo, obj.mo);
                   day = obj.day;
                   yr = obj.yr;}
              
              ~date()
                     {delete[] mo;}
              
              const char *getMo()
                    {return mo;}
                    
              int getDay()
                  {return day;}
              int getYr()
                  {return yr;}
                  
              void operator=(const date &right)
                  { delete [] mo;
                  mo = new char[strlen(right.mo) + 1];
                  strcpy(mo, right.mo);
                  day = right.day;
                  yr = right.yr;}
};                  
                 
class time:public date

                   min = obj.min;
                   sec = obj.sec;}

};
int main()

Compiler errors:

In function `int main()':
expected `;' before "first"
warning: statement is a reference, not call, to function `time'
expected `;' before "second"
warning: statement is a reference, not call, to function `time'

warning: statement is a reference, not call, to function `time'

[~s.o.s~]

That is because time( ) is a function in standard C++ found in the ctime header file.

You can't name program variables with the names of standard functions. If you will observe closely, that is also what those errors say out.
