error: expected unqualified-id before ‘public’

Question

I have read a few posts but cannot figure out what is wrong.My Code is a s follows

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;  


/* compiles with command line  gcc xlibtest2.c -lX11 -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib */
#include <X11/Xlib.h>  
#include <X11/Xutil.h>  
#include <X11/Xos.h>  
#include <X11/Xatom.h>    
#include <stdio.h>  
#include <math.h>  
#include <stdlib.h>  

public class Point
{
    int x;
    int y;

public Point()
        {
            this.x=0;
            this.y=0;
        }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
//////some code here
}

thanks...it worked..ur right I am a Java guy.. one more thing

It gives an error if I write

private int x; private int y;

and if in the constructor I use Point() { this.x=2; }

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try this:

class Point {
    int x;
    int y;

  public:
    Point(): x(0), y(0) {
    }
};

The syntax you are using looks like Java.

Answer 2

Change your Java like syntax to :

class Point //access modifiers cannot be applied to classes while defining them
{
    int x;
    int y;

   public : //Note a colon here

   Point() :x(),y() //member initialization list
   {
        //`this` is not a reference in C++                
   }
}; //Notice the semicolon
