constructor in c++/ visual studio

Question

I am trying to make a constructor in c++ with visual studio and I get this error :

Error 1 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

I run a diferent code from my teacher that is almost the same and it work. I'm new in oop, so don't juge please.

An example:

class Stud {
char name[30];

const () {

this->cnp[0] = 'a';
this->cnp[1] = '/0';

}
};

const != constructor. You should use Stud () { } to create a constructor. — , Oct 26 '13 at 20:58
Where did you see constructors being written like that because that is not valid — Borgleader, Oct 26 '13 at 21:01

Well, const normally does not stand for "constructor", but if you try really hard...

#include <string>

class ructor
{
    std::string name;

    ructor() : name("a") {}

    static const ructor make() { return ructor(); }
};      // ^^^^^^^^^^^^ lol

Funny, but isn't going to help the OP is it? – Lightness Races in Orbit Oct 26 '13 at 21:08

@LightnessRacesinOrbit In a way it can, if OP will analyse this snippet. Learning can be fun! – BartoszKP Oct 26 '13 at 21:09

Constructors are not written like that. Replace const() with Stud().
The "name" must be the same as the name of the class.

const means something else — I'll leave you to look it up in your textbook!
