Check this out ----------------------------------------------------------------- #include class test { private: float cx; public: test(float cx){}; outstats(){cout << "cx: "<What am I doing wrong?

No you have the wrong idea. Your constructor taking in a varialbe doesn''t assign it to that object''s variable. You have to pass in a number to your function and then assign that value to your object''s variable in the function like this:

class test
{
private:
int cx;

public:
test(int num) {cx = num;}
};

You never initialized cx in your class. It also doesn''t help that outstats doesn''t have a return type. Try this:

class test{private:float cx;public:test(float _cx){cx = _cx;};void outstats(){cout << "cx: "<};void main(){test one(1.1);one.outstats();}
