Having fixing and error in my code:

Security.cpp:8:11: error: C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations Security::validate(const char *userName, const char *password) ^

Security.cpp:7:62:error:ISO C++ forbids declaration of validate with no type [-fpermissive]

Security::validate(const char *userName, const char *password)

^

Security.cpp:7:1:error:prototype for int Security::validate(const char*, const char*) does not match any in class Security

Security::validate(const char *userName, const char *password)

^

In file included fromSecurity.cpp:2:0:

Security.h:17:5:error:candidate is: static credentials Security::validate(const char*, const char*)

validate(const char *userName, const char *password);

Code:

Security.h

#ifndef SECURITY_H

#define SECURITY_H

#include

#include

using namespace std;

enum credentials {invalid, user, administrator};

class Security{

public:

static enum credentials

validate(const char *userName, const char *password);

};

enum credentials;

#endif

Security.cpp

#include

#include \"Security.h\"

using namespace std;

Security::validate(const char *userName, const char *password)

{

if ((strcmp(userName, \"abbott\") == 0) &&

(strcmp(password, \"monday\") == 0)) {

return(user);

}

if ((strcmp(userName, \"costello\") == 0) &&

(strcmp(password, \"tuesday\") == 0)) {

return(administrator);

}

return(invalid);

}
