Write a program that

- defines a class Employee with the following data members:

- Name

- Address

- Title

- Salary

- Age

- Department

- defines a function that displays the information stored in an Employee object using the following format on

2 lines on the screen

- Name (left,25), Address (left,25), Age (right,5)

- Title (left,25), Department (left,25), Salary (right,10)

- in main()

- instantiate an object of type Employee

- prompt the user for the information above (in the above order) and store it in the data members of

the object instantiated

- call the function to display the Employee information

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

class Employee
{
public:
string name;
string address;
string title;
double salary;
int age;
string department;
};

void DisInfo(Employee& emp1)
{
cout<<emp1.name<<emp1.address<<emp1.age<<endl;
cout<<emp1.title<<emp1.department<<emp1.salary<<endl;
}

int main()
{
Employee emp1;
cout<<"Please enter employee name";
getline(cin,emp1.name);
cout<<"Please enter employee address";
getline(cin,emp1.address);
cout<<"Please enter employee title";
getline(cin,emp1.title);
cout<<"Please enter employee salary";
cin>>emp1.salary;
cout<<"Please enter employee age";
cin>>emp1.age;
cout<<"Please enter employee department";
getline(cin,emp1.department);
void DisInfo(Employee& EmpInfo);
}

I think i'm close. (i know i gotta set the justification and stuff, but thats easy)

I took this same class 4 years ago. Looks familiar. Can't help because it went bye bye fast.

I think i need a constructor? Is that my issue?

Main is working fine, but my function isn't displaying my entered values.

You should quit now if this is hard for you. Just being honest.

What a dickhead thing to say to someone. He is in the process of LEARNING it. You're one of those neckbeards that understands C++ in a week but doesn't know how to drive a car after 20 years. Just being honest.

Employee emp1;
cout<<"Please enter employee name";
getline(cin,emp1.name);
cout<<"Please enter employee address";
getline(cin,emp1.address);
cout<<"Please enter employee title";
getline(cin,emp1.title);
cout<<"Please enter employee salary";
cin>>emp1.salary;
cout<<"Please enter employee age";
cin>>emp1.age;
cout<<"Please enter employee department";
getline(cin,emp1.department);
void DisInfo(Employee& EmpInfo);
}

Get rid of the "void" in main

yeah, having void in front of it is declaring the function, not calling it

also why getline sometimes and cin>> other times?

Idk I just thought i had to do with strings. Anyway I was able to get it last night. I'll post the code later. My C++ topics keep getting purged.

I know the basics of C++ but a lot of the shit involved with it like pointers and stuff flew over my head.

More power to you if you can get good with those things.

Classes have a default constructor. You need to create an object when you use one, though. Assigning a name isnt the same thing.

Employee emp1 = new Employee(); or something to that effect, its been a while since Ive coded in c++ and I dont remember the syntax on hand

Need to put exception handling in there, though
