这有什么问题？ 包括Setters / Getters（已编辑）头文件

Question

when I have the following member in a class

    employee headOfDepartment;

what's wrong these setters and getters?

void department::setHeadOfDepartment( employee depEmployee)
    {
        headOfDepartment=depEmployee;
    }

employee department::getHeadOfDepartment() 
{
    return headOfDepartment;
}

I've been trying forever to define setters & getters with composition and it keeps getting me this error: "field 'headOfDepartment' has incomplete type"

ok Those are the header files:

    void view (); // View to view Name, ID and actual salary

    void View_Detailed (); //call previous function and also shows other details (vacations - permissions - detailed deductions - ... )

    void Free_All(); //return all values to default

    double Take_vacation(); //this function takes number of days employee need to take as vacation, available vacations reduced by number of days given, if available vacations became 0 salary is deduced by deduction per day set

    double Calculate_Actual_Salary();// calculates salary after deductions and returns it

Answer 1

您需要将包含在头文件employee在你的头文件和源文件中声明department

Answer 2

Class employee shall be defined before using it as a type name of an object. Also I advice to add qualifier const for the getter

Answer 3

您没有在department类标题中包含定义employee的头，但是在头中有一个类型为employee的非引用非指针声明。
