Need help getting this program running.

I assume you are building this odometer class for learning purposes?

Instead of solving the problem for you, I'll try to give some hints.

1. Normally you get lots of errors in a C++ compiler, even if you made one typing error. Start by looking closely at the first error message

2. If the error message makes sense, solve the problem and recompile.

3. If you are getting error message that are not clear to you, please post the error message.

Yeah i am just not seeing it. IM not sure, am I calling the functions wrong in my main? maybe it is because my brain is mush I been working on this all day.
here is a list of errors I cant figure it out.
11: error: expected `;' before "public"
:21: error: definition of implicitly-declared `odometer::odometer()'
:21: error: declaration of `odometer::odometer()' throws different exceptions

60: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
:60: error: expected `;' before "cout"

Gonna keep messing with it, thanks for your help.

well i took care of 8 errors. these are the errors that I am dealing with now.

: In function `int main()':
:58: error: invalid operands of types `<unknown type>' and `const char[25]' to binary `operator<<'

10: error: `int odometer::getmiles' is private
61: error: within this context
:61: error: `simulator.odometer::getmiles' cannot be used as a function
:62: error: `end1' undeclared (first use this function)
62: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
:62: error: expected `;' before "cout"

any help would is appreciated.

Ok, I am down to just 2 errors. I hope someone can help me out because i am not sure what to do to fix them.

>>>> cout<<"Number of miles:"<<simulator.getmiles()<< endl;
As far as I see getmiles is an int and not a function. Hence you would need to remove the () after getmiles.

BTW, getmiles is a poor name for a data member and the error was only caused by the poor naming.

>>>> line 61: getmiles is a member variable of odometer, not a member function.

Sorry, anneb. Didn't read your last comment thoroughly before posting.

That did it. Thanks for the help!

You shouldn't have accepted my comment but that of anneb #25492744 cause that comment already was the solution.
