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 from Security.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);

};

#endif
