Please use code tags. Edit your post, highlight the code and click the <> button the right of the edit window. That will make your code appear with line numbers and syntax highlighting. It makes it easier to refer to it.

Change int main(); to int main() {
Put a ; after cout <<"How old are you?"
Change q8.askQuestion() to q8.askQuestion() (remote a "t")
Change

void Question::setValues    // Questions -> Question


Score:0 is wrong. I'm not sure what you want here.

Add } at the end of the file.

When I make these changes the code compiles.

you have misplaced semicolon just after your main, your main function is missing the opening and closing braces, your function setvalue should also set the value of correct_answer and Question_score

i have tried to correct them error for you, here is the code

Yolanda, thank you so much for your help, i must have overseen a lot of stuff, your awesome
girl101 (6)
dhayden , sorry i always forget to do that, thanks for the help anyways.
dhayden (5798)
A word of advice: compile the code often and fix the syntax errors as you go.
girl101 (6)
I will take that advice, would you happen to know how i could make this into a i/o file ?
dhayden (5798)
would you happen to know how i could make this into a i/o file ?

Rather than calling setValues() on 10 questions, which basically means the questions are hard coded into the program, you could read the questions from a file. Create a >> operator for class Question. Or if you don't know what that means, create a method that reads from a stream:
void read(istream &is);
Store the text of the question on one line. Then each possible answer on its own separate line, then the last line has the correct answer number and the Question_score.
