No Matching Function Error for inserting into a list in c++
- by Josh Curren
I am getting an error when I try to insert an item into a list (in C++). The error is that there is no matching function for call to the insert(). I also tried push_front() but got the same error.
Here is the error message:
main.cpp:38: error: no matching function for call to ‘std::list<Salesperson, std::allocator<Salesperson> >::insert(Salesperson&)’
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/include/c++/bits/list.tcc:99: note: candidates are: std::_List_iterator<_Tp> std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::insert(std::_List_iterator<_Tp>, const _Tp&) [with _Tp = Salesperson, _Alloc = std::allocator<Salesperson>]
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/include/c++/bits/stl_list.h:961: note: void std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::insert(std::_List_iterator<_Tp>, size_t, const _Tp&) [with _Tp = Salesperson, _Alloc = std::allocator<Salesperson>]
Here is the code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <list>
#include "Salesperson.h"
#include "Salesperson.cpp"
#include "OrderedList.h"
#include "OrderedList.cpp"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
cout << "\n------------ Asn 8 - Sales Report ------------" << endl;
list<Salesperson> s;
int id;
string fName, lName;
int numOfSales;
string year;
std::ifstream input("Sales.txt");
while( !std::getline(input, year, ',').eof() )
{
input >> id;
input >> lName;
input >> fName;
input >> numOfSales;
Salesperson sp = Salesperson( id, fName, lName );
s.insert( sp ); //THIS IS LINE 38 **************************
for( int i = 0; i < numOfSales; i++ )
{
double sale;
input >> sale;
sp.sales.insert( sale );
}
}
cout << endl;
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
