I'm tring to create Card and Deck classes but I'm getting an error message that says
Allocation of incomplete type 'Card'
The problem is happening in Deck::Deck() of Deck.cpp
//
//Deck.h
#ifndef JS_DECK_H
#define JS_DECK_H
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
#include <vector>
using std::vector;
//forward declaration
class Card;
namespace JS {
class Deck {
public:
Deck();
private:
vector<Card *>cards;
};
}
#endif
//
//Deck.cpp
#include "Deck.h"
using namespace JS;
Deck::Deck(){
for(int suit = 0; suit < 4; suit++){
for(int rank = 1; rank < 14; rank++){
cards.push_back(new Card(rank, suit));//allocation of incomplete type 'Card'
}
}
}
