Hundreds of "has no member named..." Errors C++


I've just started C++ programming so excuse me if this is a horrid noob mistake, but it's doing my head in.

I have multiple .cpp files correctly programmed and no errors after compiling them, all with their own .h files.

For some reason, when I try to compile one class named "flyingUnit.cpp" I get hundreds of errors, all along the lines of:

flyingUnit.cpp: In constructor ‘FlyingUnit::FlyingUnit(const char*, const char*, double, double,
bool, const char*, const char*, int, const char*)’:
flyingUnit.cpp:26:38: error: class ‘FlyingUnit’ does not have any field named ‘length’
             const char* weyr ) : length(length), wingspan(wingspan), age(age)
                                  ^

I have absolutely no idea as to why this is happening, everything used in the class is never found, left completely dumbfounded, when it seems to work perfectly fine with all the other classes. Why am I getting these errors?

flyingUnit.h:

EDIT

I will provide another class and .h file I've made and it works fine:

Rider.cpp

#include "rider.h"

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

Rider::Rider( const char* name, int age, const char* rank, 
              const char* weyr ) : age( age )
{
    this->name = new char[ strlen(name) + 1 ];
    strcpy( this->name, name );

    this->rank = new char[ strlen( rank ) + 1 ];
    strcpy( this->rank, rank );

    this->weyr = new char[ strlen( weyr ) + 1 ];
    strcpy( this->weyr, weyr );
}

ostream& operator << ( ostream& os, const Rider& r)
{
   os << "Rider name: " << r.name 
      << " Age: " << r.age
      << " Rank: " << r.rank

   return os;
}

{
    char temp[ 500 ];
    cout << "Enter Rider name >> ";
    is.getline( temp, 500 );
    r.name = new char[strlen( temp ) + 1 ];
    strcpy( r.name, temp ); 

    cout << "Enter Rider age >> ";
    is >> r.age;
    // clean up the newline left after the int read
    // as we are going to read text next.
    is.ignore( 100000, '\n' );

    cout << "Enter Rider rank >> " ;
    is.getline( temp, 500 );
    r.rank = new char[ strlen( temp ) + 1];
    strcpy( r.rank, temp );

    cout << "Enter Rider weyr >> " ;
    is.getline( temp, 500 );
    r.weyr = new char[ strlen( temp )  +1];
    strcpy( r.weyr, temp );

    return is;
}

ofstream& operator << ( ofstream& os, const Rider& r )
{
   os << r.name << endl

   return os;

    strcpy( r.name, temp );

    is >> r.age;

    is.ignore( 100000, '\n' );
    is.getline(temp, 500 );
    r.rank = new char[ strlen( temp ) + 1];
    strcpy( r.rank, temp );
    is.getline(temp, 500 );
    r.weyr = new char[ strlen( temp ) + 1 ];
    strcpy( r.weyr, temp );

    return is;
}

Solution

  • you are missing a member variable "double length" in your class FlyingUnit

    you try to initialize variables that don't exist; length, wingspan, and age ... try to declare those in your header ..
