GCC - "expected unqualified-id before ')' token"

c++

Solution

Your issue is your `#define`. You did `#define Card`, so now everywhere `Card` is seen as a token, it will be replaced.

Usually a `#define Token` with no additional token, as in `#define Token Replace` will use the value `1`.

Remove the `#define Card`, it's making line 22 read: `1();` or `();`, which is causing the complaint.

Problem

Please bear with me, I'm just learning C++. I'm trying to write my header file (for class) and I'm running into an odd error. ``` cards.h:21: error: expected unqualified-id before ')' token cards.h:22: error: expected `)' before "str" cards.h:23: error: expected `)' before "r" ``` What does "expected unqualified-id before ')' token" mean? And what am I doing wrong? Edit: Sorry, I didn't post the entire code. ``` /* Card header file [Author] */ // NOTE: Lanugage Docs here http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ #define Card #define Hand #define AppError #include <string> using namespace std; // TODO: Docs here class Card { // line 17 public: enum Suit {Club, Diamond, Spade, Heart}; enum Rank {Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace}; Card(); // line 22 Card(string str); Card(Rank r, Suit s); ``` Edit: I'm just trying to compile the header file by itself using "g++ file.h". Edit: Closed question. My code is working now. Thanks everyone! Edit: Reopened question after reading Etiquette: Closing your posts
