C ++不存在从“日期”到“日期（*）（）”的合适转换函数

Question

I'm working on a payroll program but I keep stumbling on this one error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error (active) no suitable conversion function from "Date" to "Date (*)()" exists Payroll c:\\Users\\Bart\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2015\\Projects\\Payroll\\Payroll\\Payroll.cpp 58

Here's my main:

int main()
{
int count = 0;
int option = 0;
int month;
int day;
int year;

cout << fixed << setprecision(2);

Employee *employees[arraySize];

cout << "Welcome to the payroll program!" << endl;

cout << "Please enter the current month: ";
cin >> month;

cout << "Please enter the current day: ";
cin >> day;

cout << "Please enter the current month: ";
cin >> year;

Date currentDate(month, day, year);

while (option != 3)
{
    cout << endl << "Please select one of the following options" << endl;
    cout << "1 - Enter new employee information" << endl;
    cout << "2 - View payroll" << endl;
    cout << "3 - Exit the application" << endl;
    cout << "Please enter your option: ";
    cin >> option;

    switch (option)
    {
        case 1:
            if (count < arraySize)
                {
                    count+= createEmployee(employees, count, currentDate);
                    //This is where the error is occurring, currentDate is underlined
                }
            else
            {
                cout << "You cannot enter any more than " << arraySize << " employees." << endl;
            }
                break;
        case 2:
            displayEmployees(employees, count);
            break;
        case 3:
            break;
        default:
            cout << "Please enter a valid menu selection";
    }
}
return 0;
}

And here is the first part of my createEmployee method:

int createEmployee(Employee *employees[], int index, Date date())
{
string firstName;
string middleName;
string lastName;
int bDay;
int bMonth;
int bYear;
Date currentDate = date();
string SSN;
int option;

As Eissa N. says, compiler thinks you are trying to pass object of type Date as a function pointer Date(*)() .

Remove the () from Date date() in createEmployee function definition (and declaration).

Other solution would be to fix the createEmployee definition to accept Date (*date)(month, day, year) function pointer and pass function createDate to it and pass arguments to it in createEmployee function. (you would have to define createDate a function)
