Getting an error using my Constructor

Im getting this error

Code:

1>c:\users\patrick\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\more constructor practice\more constructor practice\main.cpp(4) : error C2533: 'pokemon::{ctor}' : constructors not allowed a return type

How is it thinking im trying to return something?

Classes.h:
[php]#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class pokemon
{
public:
pokemon(int iAge, int iWeight, char iGender); //constructor and destructor
~pokemon();
int GetAge() { return cAge; } //accessor functions
void SetAge(int age) { cAge = age; }

int GetWeight() { return cWeight; }
void SetWeight(int weight) { cWeight = weight; }

int GetGender() { return cGender; }
void SetGender(char gender) { cGender = gender; }

void Retreat() { cout << "Retreated\n"; } //random function
private:
int cAge;
int cWeight;
char cGender;
}
[/php]

Main.cpp:
[php]#include "classes.h"

pokemon:

okemon(int iAge, int iWeight, char iGender) //constructor of pokemon,
//Im getting the error here.
//Says im trying to return something
{
cAge = iAge;
cWeight = iWeight;
cGender = iGender;
}

pokemon::~pokemon() {} //destructor

int main()
{
pokemon Pikachu(5, 15, 'F');
cout << "Age:\t" << Pikachu.GetAge() << '\n';
cout << "Weight:\t" << Pikachu.GetWeight() << '\n';
cout << "Gender:\t" << Pikachu.GetGender() << '\n';
}

[/php]

constructors don't take arguments.
They're called when you create an object of that type.

Code:

pokemon::pokemon()
{
    //this code is called when you do 'pokemon *pPokemon = new pokemon'
}

But for some reason this works.

[php]bear::bear(int iAge, int iWeight)
{
cAge = iAge;
cWeight = iWeight;
}[/php]

Constructors can take arguments if you want them to. |:

the problem is on the class

fixed

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class pokemon
{
public:
    pokemon(int , int , char); //constructor and destructor
    ~pokemon();
    int GetAge() { return cAge; } //accessor functions
    void SetAge(int age) { cAge = age; }

    int GetWeight() { return cWeight; }
    void SetWeight(int weight) { cWeight = weight; }

    int GetGender() { return cGender; }
    void SetGender(char gender) { cGender = gender; }

    void Retreat() { cout << "Retreated\n"; } //random function
private:
    int cAge;
    int cWeight;
    char cGender;
};

you missed ; at the end of the class

Ok. Im retarded. im gonna gtfo mpgh for a coouple hours[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

lol... I think its the same 5 - 6 people who post in the c/c++ section... me, kallisti, void, brinuz, naghal and that other guy.

And kallisti, what book are you reading? I saw in one of your topics you were reading a book but I forget which one. It seems like a good book so I may get it.

Sams teach yourself C++ in 1 hour a day.
Its not really 1 hour though. some chapters other than the very first couple ones took me a while.

Once again. Request close is request

but i started C++ when i was 11. im 13 now

Though i rage gave up a couple times untill i got this book

really? mee too!! I rage quit c++ a few times, then I foud mpgh to be quite helpful and decided to just make simple useless applications following nobody's code, no books code. Basically taking what I learned and seeing what the **** it can do. Learning a few more things and seeing what they can do...

I started general coding when I was 10 years old. Started out with HTML, got quite far in that but then gave up cuz my mother wouldn't support it AT ALL. Did a bit of flash, made a few programs in VB, went on and created a couple games in c# using an engine, created a simple GUI program in c++ and quit programming at 13

talk about a mega-nerd.

anyways, I think I'll get that. If you rage quit c++ until getting this book, then it may be good for me as well.

Well, sometimes i get frustrated a lot and feel like ragequiting. But im determined to finish this book before school starts

Ahh, yeah now that I'm 15 and not 12 I think I'll be able to dedicate myself to it... hopefully... Just downloaded stanza onto my desktop and ipod, also downloaded the book as an ebook, going to install the ebook into my ipod and start reading it

thanks for the book ... After I read this, I'll read c++ primer plus.
