I'm making a program and everything works except for a couple of
assignment operators for a string object.

here is the snippet of code:

name.assign(theItem.getName);

I've also tried useing the "=" operator, but it doesn't compile.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate the

Thank you

Just guessing, since you did not post much code:

name = theItem.getName();

if it s, here is the whole class:
//I marked the faulty lines

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <vector>

#include "item.h"

using namespace std;



class inventory

{

public:

void getInventory();

void addItem(item addItem, inventory inventory1);

void subtractItem(item subItem);

bool checkInventory();

void Equip(weapon Item, inventory inventory1);

void Unequip();

private:

vector<item> m_inventory;

vector<weapon> m_equiped;

};

//defining Inventory.getinventory function

void inventory::getInventory()

{

string name;

item theItem;

cout<<"here are your items:"<<endl;

for (int i=0; i<m_inventory.size(); ++i)

{

theItem = m_inventory[i];

name.clear();

name.assign(theItem.getName); //the assignment operator on
this line dosn't work

cout<<name<<endl;

}

cout<<"here are you equiped items:"<<endl;

for (int j=0; j<m_equiped.size(); ++j)

{

theItem = m_inventory[j];

name.clear();

name.assign(theItem.getName); //the assignment operator on
this line dosn't work

cout<<name<<endl;

}

}

//defining Inventory.addInventory function

void inventory::addItem(item addItem, inventory inventory1)

{

if (inventory1.checkInventory())

{

m_inventory.push_back(addItem);

}

else

cout<<"your inventory is full, discard some Items,";

cout<<" please discard some items and try again."<<endl;



}

//defining Inventory.subtractInventory function

void inventory::subtractItem(item subItem)

{

int i=0;

string name;

string compare;

name.assign(subItem.getName); //the assignment operator on this
line dosn't work

compare.assign(m_inventory[0].getName); //the assignment operator
on this line dosn't work

while (name!=compare)

{

++i;

compare.assign(m_inventory[i].getName); //the assignment
operator on this line dosn't work.

}

m_inventory.erase((m_inventory.begin()+i));

}

//defining Inventory.checkInventory function

bool inventory::checkInventory()

{

int i=0;

bool answer;



i = m_inventory.size();



if (i<10)

{

answer = true;

return answer;

}

if (i>=10)

{

answer = false;

return answer;

}

}



void inventory::Equip(weapon Item, inventory inventory1)

{

if (m_equiped.size()>0)

m_equiped.push_back(Item);

}

{

Looking at the code you snipped I dont' see any getName other than that
like, but I presume it's supposed to be a fuction. So would be:
name.assign(theItem.getName());
or
name = the Item.getName();

It is hard to say, however, since you are not showing the declaration of the
class item, I just presume it has a method (function) called getName that
either returns a string or a const reference to a string. If it doesn't,
show more code.
