A newbie is about to explode(c++)

I'm about to explode](*,) this is the code. What should i put into the $$$$. I know is char something but WHAT...

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

class employee
{
  private:
    char name[20];
    char id[5];
  public:
    employee($$$$$,$$$$$); //constructor
};

void main()
{
  employee em1($$$$$$,$$$$$$); //constructor
  .
  .
  .
}

employee::employee($$$$$$,$$$$$$$)
{
  strcpy(name,$$$$$$);
  strcpy(id,$$$$$$$);
}

i want just to use the overloaded constructor employee but how.

If you are really quit you'll be able to hear me (boom!!!)

Your member data (name and id) should be declared to be STL strings, not char arrays. It's ironic that you declared the arrays, yet included <string>.

Your constructor should accept a string for each field. The use of strcpy() is not needed.

you would do

employee(int x, char* a,) { //stuff }

then

employee(char* a, char* b) { //stuff }

thats how you overload stuff (tell me if im crazy and wrong)

o ya and use strings...i was just lazy
