C++ Error Message that makes no sense

I am currently trying to write an application that will set up a database for Game Players to register with, to start off I have tried to set up a Class to take the player details and return them when requested. The only problem is I get a load of error messages that make no sense to me. Here is the code Player.h #pragma once #include <STRING> using namespace std; class Player { private: int score; string nickname, firstname, surname, email, password; int played; float ratio; public: Player(string nick, string fname, string sname, string mail, string pass); ~Player(void); int addscore(int x); int getscore(); int addplayed(int y); int getplayed(); int clacratio(); float getratio(); string getnick(); string getfirstname(); string getsurname(); string getemail(); string getpassword(); }; Player.cpp #include "player.h" Player::Player(string nick, string fname, string sname, string mail, string pass) { nickname = nick; firstname = fname; surname = sname; email = mail; password = pass; score = 0; played = 0; ratio = 0; } Player::~Player(void) { } Player::getnick() { return nickname; } Player::getfirstname() { return firstname; } Player::getsurname() { return surname; } Player::getemail() { return email; } Player::getpassword() { return password; } Player::getplayed() { return played; } Player::addplayed(int y) { played+=y; } Player::getratio() { return ratio; } Player::clacratio() { ratio = (score/played); return 0; } Player::addscore(int x) { score+=x; return 0; } Player::getscore() { return score; } Errors e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(25): error C2371: ''Player::getfirstname'' : redefinition; different basic types e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(35): error C2371: ''Player::getemail'' : redefinition; different basic types e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(20): error C2371: ''Player::getnick'' : redefinition; different basic types e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(40): error C2371: ''Player::getpassword'' : redefinition; different basic types e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(55): error C2371: ''Player::getratio'' : redefinition; different basic types e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(30): error C2371: ''Player::getsurname'' : redefinition; different basic types e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(35): error C2556: ''int Player::getemail(void)'' : overloaded function differs only by return type from ''std::string Player::getemail(void)'' e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(25): error C2556: ''int Player::getfirstname(void)'' : overloaded function differs only by return type from ''std::string Player::getfirstname(void)'' e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(20): error C2556: ''int Player::getnick(void)'' : overloaded function differs only by return type from ''std::string Player::getnick(void)'' e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(40): error C2556: ''int Player::getpassword(void)'' : overloaded function differs only by return type from ''std::string Player::getpassword(void)'' e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(55): error C2556: ''int Player::getratio(void)'' : overloaded function differs only by return type from ''float Player::getratio(void)'' e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(30): error C2556: ''int Player::getsurname(void)'' : overloaded function differs only by return type from ''std::string Player::getsurname(void)'' e:\Visual Studio Projects\FileIOTest\Player.cpp(61): warning C4244: ''='' : conversion from ''int'' to ''float'', possible loss of data Please help!

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." — Brian W. Kernighan

I agree that you can use any proprietary extensions that work for you ... and I won''t hold that against you ...

but being INFORMED that they are proprietary is very valuable information ... so now you know, when you take that code elsewhere someday, you will need to run a conversion (I have one in PERL) to change files with #pragma once to #ifndef ...

if this never comes up, it never comes up ... but KNOWING is the key to not wasting hours confused about simple issues ...

just likely the decision about more complicated stuff, such as using POSIX, or pthread, or Win32 threading APIs, the key is not that you pick the one some poster suggests, but that the posters help you know enough to make an informed decision yourself.

I like #ifndef specifically because I use multiple compilers and platforms, if I used only MS, I wouldn''t care so much ...
