Hi xarmzon,

I don't think there is any bug in your program (tell me where if there is any), but it seems you don't understand what you can do with your class employee, so here is some explanation.

With your class, it's enough to declare a single object and this object will have all the data members you've declared in the class: itsAge, itsYearsOfService, itsSalary.

So you must proceed like this:

employee someEmployee;
someEmployee.setAge(20);
someEmployee.setYearsOfService(6);

And now, you can access the different data members, using:

cout << someEmployee.getAge() << "  " << someEmployee.getYearsIfService() << endl;

Does it make sens ?

[xarmzon]

yes! have done that before. my problem is question 2
