Declaring vectors in a C++ header file

Question

I am having some trouble with vector declarations in the header file of a C++ class I am making. My entire header file looks like this:

#ifndef PERSON_H
#define PERSON_H

#include "Message.h"
#include <string>
#include <vector>


class Person {

public:

 Person() {};
 Person(std::string emailAddress);

private:

 vector<Message> inbox;
 vector<std::string> contacts;
 std::string emailAddress;

};

#endif PERSON_H

My error occurs on the lines following the "private" declaration (where I declare my vectors). The error I am getting is C4430 - missing type specifier and and C2238 - unexpected tokens preceding ';'

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

You're missing the namespace:

std::vector

Answer 2

You need to put 'std::' before 'vector' just like you did with string.

Answer 3

In my case, adding the namespace did not work, however, I was missing the

#include <vector>;
