C++ question

Edward King · #1 (**permalink**) June 11th, 2008, 01:31 AM

I have three C++ files,like follows:
/*Test.h*/

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
class Test{
public:
   Test();
};

/*Test.cpp*/

Code:

#include "Test.h"
Test::Test(){
   cout<<"Test called";
}

/*a.cpp*/

Code:

#include "Test.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   Test abc=new Test();
   return 0;
}

When I run a.cpp,it raise following error:
[C++ Error] a.cpp(4): E2034 Cannot convert 'Test *' to 'Test'

Why raise above error? How to correct my code?
Thanks

As far as i Can tell the Problem is the Line :
Test abc=new Test();
C++ expects a pointer when allocating memory via the new Operator.

To Create an instance of a Class
Test abc;
should be enough.
