I keep getting a 'no match for call to' error

Question

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;


// Turns a digit between 1 and 9 into its english name
// Turn a number into its english name

string int_name(int n)
{

  string digit_name;
  {
    if (n == 1) return "one";
     else if (n == 2) return "two";
     else if (n == 3) return "three";
     else if (n == 4) return "four";

     else if (n == 7) return "seven";
     else if (n == 8) return "eight";
     else if (n == 9) return "nine";

    return "";
  }


  string teen_name;
  {

     else if (n == 11) return "eleven";

    return "";
  }

     else if (n == 8) return "eighty";
     else if (n == 9) return "ninety";

    return "";
  }

  int c = n; // the part that still needs to be converted
  string r; // the return value

  if (c >= 1000)
  {
     r = int_name(c / 1000) + " thousand";
     c = c % 1000;
  }

  if (c >= 100)

     r = r + " " + digit_name(c / 100) + " hundred";
     c = c % 100;
  }

  if (c >= 20)
  {
     r = r + " " + tens_name(c /10);
     c = c % 10;
  }

  if (c >= 10)
  {
     r = r + " " + teen_name(c);
     c = 0;
  }

  if (c > 0)
     r = r + " " + digit_name(c);

  return r;
}

int main()
{
  int n;
  cout << endl << endl;
  cout << "Please enter a positive integer: ";
  cin >> n;
  cout << endl;
  cout << int_name(n);
  cout << endl << endl;

  return 0;
}

I Keep getting this Error code:

intname2.cpp: In function âstd::string int_name(int)â:
intname2.cpp:74: error: no match for call to â(std::string) (int)â
intname2.cpp:80: error: no match for call to â(std::string) (int)â

intname2.cpp:91: error: no match for call to â(std::string) (int&)â

Answer 1

You are using digit_name, teen_name, etc as functions, when they are defined as variables. If you want to use them like that, you need to define them before your int_name function like this:

string digit_name(int n)
{
 if (n == 1) return "one";
 else if (n == 2) return "two";
 else if (n == 3) return "three";
 else if (n == 4) return "four";
 else if (n == 5) return "five";
 else if (n == 6) return "six";
 else if (n == 7) return "seven";
 else if (n == 8) return "eight";
 else if (n == 9) return "nine";

 return "";
}
