compile error when constructing a derived class

[kenr]

I keep getting this error when I try to compile: error: expected primary-expression before "double"

The line I get the error on is at the bottom of this email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Here is the source header:

#ifndef MYARMYHEAD_H_INCLUDED
#define MYARMYHEAD_H_INCLUDED
using namespace std;

class Army
{
public:
double kills;
enum rating {raw, trained, seasoned, veteran, elite};
public:
double soldiers;
rating Soldier_rating;

public:
double Get_Kills();
void Set_Kills(double);
double Get_Soldiers();
string Get_Rating();
int Get_Rating(int);
int Up_Rating();
// Army(double, rating);
Army(double, Army::rating Soldier_rating);
};

class ArmyX : public Army
{
public:
double grunt_soldiers;
rating grunt_rating;
double nco_soldiers;
rating nco_rating;
double officer_soldiers;
rating officer_rating;
double general_soldiers;
rating general_rating;
double leader_soldier;
rating leader_rating;
// double Get_SoldierTyp(int);

ArmyX(double, Army::rating Soldier_rating, double);
};
#endif // MYARMYHEAD_H_INCLUDED



Here is the .cpp


#include <iostream>
#include "MyArmyHead.h"

double Army::Get_Kills (){
return kills;
}
void Army::Set_Kills (double kills){
this->kills=kills;
soldiers-=kills;
}
double Army::Get_Soldiers (){
return soldiers;
}
int Army::Get_Rating (int ){
return Soldier_rating;
}
string Army::Get_Rating (){
switch (Soldier_rating)
{
case 0:
return "raw";

case 1:
return "trained";

case 2:
return "seasoned";

case 3:
return "veteran";

case 4:
return "elite";
default:
return "unknown";
}
}
int Army::Up_Rating (){

switch (Soldier_rating)
{
case 0:
Soldier_rating=trained;
break;
case 1:
Soldier_rating=seasoned;
break;
case 2:
Soldier_rating=veteran;
break;
case 3:
Soldier_rating=elite;
break;
default:
return (1);
}
return(0);
}

Army::Army(double size, rating rate)
{
this->kills=0;
this->soldiers=size;
this->Soldier_rating=rate;
}


HERE IS WHERE I GET THE ERROR

ArmyX::ArmyX(double size, rating rate, double grunt) : Army(double size, rating rate)
{
grunt_soldiers=grunt;
}

First, please post your code with proper tags. It's way to hard to read it this way.
Now, I am not sure what you are trying to do in this line

ArmyX::ArmyX(double size, rating rate, double grunt) : Army(double size, rating rate)

If you are trying to use initializer list, then correct syntax will be

ArmyX(double size, rating rate, double grunt) : data_member(size), data_member(rate), data_member(grunt)

where data_member is the name of the member you are trying to initialize

[Bazzy]

You can call a parent constructor, but it's a function so you need to remove the type specifiers:
ArmyX::ArmyX(double size, rating rate, double grunt) : Army( size, rate)

Thanks Bazzy and kevinchkin, it worked by eliminating the type specifiers in the base class.

I apoligize for posting the problem without tags, but I'm trying to figure out how to cut and paste the source "as-is" from my IDE. I'm using codeblocks if that makes a difference.

Also (I hope this is not off topic) I just had verison fios service installed, and the verizon guy messed with my computer and now my IDE seems different "fuzzy"?

Thanks again

Put your code inside [code][/code] tags, it will highlight C++ syntax ( click on the # button on the right of the edit box )

Try reinstalling your IDE
