Declaring vectors in a C++ header file

Question

I am having some trouble with vector declarations in the header file of a C++ class I am making. My entire header file looks like this:

#ifndef PERSON_H #define PERSON_H  #include "Message.h" #include <string> #include <vector>   class Person {  public:   Person() {};  Person(std::string emailAddress);  private:   vector<Message> inbox;  vector<std::string> contacts;  std::string emailAddress;  };  #endif PERSON_H 

My error occurs on the lines following the "private" declaration (where I declare my vectors). The error I am getting is C4430 - missing type specifier and and C2238 - unexpected tokens preceding ';'

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

You're missing the namespace:

std::vector 

Answer 2

You need to put 'std::' before 'vector' just like you did with string.
