there are 3 files but the one iam having problems with is the student.cpp

Please describe the problems you're having with student.cpp.

[Oralloy]

From a quick, simple inspection, I see the following two issues with student.cpp:

student::GPA() has a return statement with no value.
student::standi ng() has a code path which does not encounter a return statement.

Try resolving these issues and then give us a better description of the problems you're having.

Also, please use code tags. They makes reading source code sooooo much easier.

I am still having Problems getting the student.cpp to compile.

The first error I am getting is C2065: '“Freshman”‘: undeclared identifier. Any more help would be greatly appreciated, if you can’t tell I am new to this c++ programming and this summer class is killing me.

I'll assume that you're seeing that error at line 42 of student.cpp.

Looking at your code, it looks like your editor is putting balanced quotes in place of the C++ double quote.

Your code:

if( my_credits < 30)  
  return “Freshman”;

Probably should read

if( my_credits < 30)  
  return "Freshman";
