I'm having trouble with a very simple program. It throws the errors:
error C2512: 'Player' : no appropriate default constructor available
IntelliSense: no default constructor exists for class "Player"
I have a feeling it's got something to do with declaring the Player class as a private variable in the Game.h but I can't see why. Any help would be much appreciated.
Game.h
#pragma once
#include "Player.h"
class Game
{
public:
Game(void);
void start(void);
~Game(void);
private:
Player player;
};
Game.cpp
#include "Game.h"
Game::Game(void)
{
Player p(100);
player = p;
}
void Game::start()
{
...
}
Game::~Game(void)
{
}
Player.h
#pragma once
class Player
{
public:
Player(int);
~Player(void);
private:
int wallet;
};
Player.cpp
#include "Player.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
Player::Player(int walletAmount)
{
wallet = walletAmount;
}
Player::~Player(void)
{
}
In contrast to C#, this declaration;
Player player;
...is an instantiation of the type Player
, which means that by the time you're assigning it inside the constructor, it has already been constructed without a parameter.
What you need to do is to tell the class how to initialize player
in what is called an initializer list that you append to the constructor header;
Game::Game(void) : player(100)
{
...
...which tells the compiler to use that constructor to initialise player
in the first place instead of first using the default no-parameter constructor and then assigning to it.
