char gender;

int d, Th, y;

char M, F, m, f;

// char freind[];

public:

addressbook(int n = 500) {name.resize(n); address.resize(n);}

void setName();

You cannot initialize a class member that way, either you have to do using constructors or functions

As you can see, I have Resized them /u can initalise as well but both will reuire a constructor or function.


Thanks, let me know if there is any concern.
