by a constructor, do you mean:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Shape {
double Diam = 0;
double radius;
double side;
double length;
double Circum1 = 0;
double Circum2 = 0;
double Circum3 = 0;
public:
Shape(double r, radius s, double l):radius(r) , side(s), length(l){ }
double get_radius() {return radius;}
double get_side() {return side;}
double get_length() {return author;}
;
Square : public Shape {
double side = 5;
Circum1 = 4*side;
}
Circle : public Circle {
double radius = 5;
double circumference = 0;
Circum2 = PI r2;
}
Triangle: public Triangle {
double side = 5;
Circum3 = l+l+l;
}
int main() {
Shape s s("Circle", "Square", "Triangle", true);
cout << get_Circum1( ) <<endl;
cout << get_Circum2( ) << endl;
cout << get_Circum3( ) << endl;
}
}
and Yes, I am very slow at picking up this C++........I will run this
tomorrow after I read some more stuff

And your question is...?

You cannot assign a default value to a member like this. You have to
use a constructor.

Class definitions need to end with a semicolon.

This is not the C++ syntax of inheritance (maybe it's Java?).
Proper way:
Square : public Shape {
Those are just some syntax errors, I'm not going to make comments on
the correctness of your logic.
Please at least post syntactically correct snippets of code, along
with your questions.
The least you could do is to let your program through a compiler to
spot the obvious errors.
