C++ Void Function with File Stream Error

Question

I am trying to write a code that takes an input file and organizes it and computes some values. However, I am having a problem with my getName function that is supposed to assign a first and last name to call by reference parameters by using the get member function to sum up characters in the input file if a -1 is read. Here are the error arguments for the code:

main.cpp:7:14: error: variable or field 'getName' declared void
main.cpp:7:14: error: 'ifstream' was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:7:24: error: 'shoppingCartInput' was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:7:43: error: 'string' was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:7:51: error: 'firstname' was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:7:62: error: 'string' was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:7:70: error: 'lastname' was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:102:50: error: 'getName' was not declared in this scope

Here is the code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cctype>

void getName(ifstream& shoppingCartInput, string& firstname, string& lastname);

using namespace std;
int main()
{
    // declerations
    string infile_name = "";
    string shopper = "";
    string firstname ="";
    string lastname = "";
    int quantity;
    double price = 0.0, leastExpPrice = 0, mostExpPrice = 0;
    string item, leastExpItem, mostExpItem;
    double totalCost = 0.0;
    //1) Open Your File
    cout << "please enter the name of the input file:";
    cin >> infile_name;
    cout << "\n";
    ifstream shoppingCartInput;
    ofstream shoppingCartOutput;
    shoppingCartInput.open(infile_name.c_str());
    if(shoppingCartInput.fail( )) {
    cout << "Input file opening failed.\n";
    exit(1);
    }
    shoppingCartOutput.open("output_file.dat");
    if(shoppingCartOutput.fail( )) {
        cout << "Output file opening failed.\n";
        exit(1);
    }
    //2) Read the first line
    shoppingCartInput >> quantity >> price >> item;
    //printing the line to the console (properly organized)

    mostExpItem=item;
    //initialize total cost to get the cost of the first line of data
    totalCost = (quantity * price);
    //3) Read until the end of the file
    while(!(shoppingCartInput.eof())) {

}

void getName(ifstream& shoppingCartInput, std::string& firstname, std::string&
lastname)
{
    char letter;
    do {
         shoppingCartInput.get(letter);
         firstname += letter - 1;
    } while (letter != ',');

    do {
        shoppingCartInput.get(letter);
        lastname += letter;
    } while (letter != '\n' || letter != 'r');
}

Answer 1

That's std::ifstream to you. Or else, add using namespace std; after all #includes and before the rest of the code.

Answer 2

change:

void getName(ifstream& shoppingCartInput, string& firstname, string& lastname);
using namespace std;

to:

using namespace std;
void getName(ifstream& shoppingCartInput, string& firstname, string& lastname);
