You have declared those functions to take 4 parameters:

1
2
3
 
// lines 19-20
string plusOneDay(int, int &, int &, string);
string minusOneDay(int, int &, int &, string);


But here you are calling them with no parameters:

1
2
 
string nextDay = monday.plusOneDay(); // line 99
string previousDay = monday.minusOneDay(); // line 103


It wants you to pass 4 parameters on those lines.

ahh... ok. that makes sense, now I am running into the issue that I am declaring these parameters when the function is being performed:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

string DayOfTheWeek::plusOneDay(int addDay, int &iNum, int &dayVariable, string addDayString){
	addDay = iNum + 1;
	ConvertToString(addDay);
	addDayString = dayVariable;
	return addDayString;
}

string DayOfTheWeek::minusOneDay(int minusDay, int &iNum, int &dayVariable, string minusDayString){
	minusDay = iNum - 1;
	ConvertToString(minusDay);
	minusDayString = dayVariable;
	return minusDayString;
}


so how would I go about calling this function without wiping the information I need to use?

I'm puzzled.

string DayOfTheWeek::plusOneDay(int addDay, int &iNum, int &dayVariable, string addDayString){
	addDay = iNum + 1;
	ConvertToString(addDay);
	addDayString = dayVariable;
	return addDayString;
}


You're using iNum to give addDay a value, but iNum has never been set to anything and you don't attempt to pass it in when you actually (incorrectly) called the function. What do you expect iNum to be at this point?
