//////////////////////////

void CatFive :: setData(int age)
{
itsAge = age;

int CatFive :: getData()

void CatFive :: hi() //source of error

////////////////////////////////////
int main()

CatFive Frisky(1);

cout << " Frisky is " << Frisky.getData() << "years old" << endl;

Frisky.setData(3);
Frisky.getData(),

cout << Frisky.hi(); //source of error
cout << "Frisky is now " << Frisky.getData()<< "years old" << endl;

return 0;
}

Hi
I try to compile this program but I get a lot of errors because of
void hi(); function,
if I delete this function and all related data, the program is compiled
without any problems.
I am using g++ as a compiler (version 3.3.3) on linux Suse 9.1.
I have compiled similar programs several times before. I can't find the
error on my own.
Any sugession is appreciated.
