I am using visual studio 2017 for my c++ project and had this error on the command line when trying to compile the program.
Error message was: path is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Any assistance is highly appreciated.

What I have tried:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class emp {
public:
char* emp_name;
int getInfo(char* emp_name, int emp_id_number, int emp_age) {
cout << "Employee Name: " << emp_name << "\n";
cout << "Employee Id Number: " << emp_id_number << "\n";
cout << "Employee Age: " << emp_age;
}
};
class salary: public emp{ 
public:

int	getSalary(){
int tax_number;
cout << "\nEnter Tax Number\t";
cin >> tax_number;
}
int calculateNet(){
int gross_salary; 
int deductions;
cout << "Enter Gross Salary\t";
cin >> gross_salary;
cout << "Enter deductions\t";
cin >> deductions;
int netsalary = gross_salary - deductions;
cout << "Salary Structure\n";
cout << "Gross Salary:\t";
cout << gross_salary << "\n";
cout << "Deductions: \t";
cout << deductions << "\n";
cout << "Netsalary\t";
cout << netsalary;
}
};
int main() {
emp emp1;
emp1.getInfo("Felix", 635932, 23);
salary emp2;
emp2.getSalary();
emp2.calculateNet();
}

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with. Perhaps if you told us exactly what you did to get the message it might help?

you are right OriginalGriff . Because of the error i was working online and my code worked just fine
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class emp {
public:
char* emp_name;
int getInfo(char* emp_name, int emp_id_number, int emp_age) {
cout << "Employee Name: " << emp_name << "\n";
cout << "Employee Id Number: " << emp_id_number << "\n";
cout << "Employee Age: " << emp_age;
}
};
class salary: public emp{
public:

int getSalary(){
int tax_number;
cout << "\nEnter Tax Number\t";
cin >> tax_number;
}
int calculateNet(){
int gross_salary;
int deductions;
cout << "Enter Gross Salary\t";
cin >> gross_salary;
cout << "Enter deductions\t";
cin >> deductions;
int netsalary = gross_salary - deductions;
cout << "Salary Structure\n";
cout << "Gross Salary:\t";
cout << gross_salary << "\n";
cout << "Deductions: \t";
cout << deductions << "\n";
cout << "Netsalary\t";
cout << netsalary;
}
};
int main() {
emp emp1;
emp1.getInfo("Felix", 635932, 23);
salary emp2;
emp2.getSalary();
emp2.calculateNet();
}

Is that the exact error message?
I ask because 'path' is a system environment variable that should be always present and you should see a different message when being cleared.
Felix Mensah 10-Oct-17 9:53am    
What do you suggest I do Jochen. should i copy the path where the project is and add it as a variable?
Jochen Arndt 10-Oct-17 9:57am    
I suggest nothing.
I asked if "path is not recognised as an internal or external command" is the exact error message or if you - for example - replaced something with 'path'.
