    <p>I have a C++ class where I declare two static methods that have (and they should have) similar names, but definitely not the <strong>same</strong> name. So I did this:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;cstdio&gt; struct Cat; class Cat { public: int age; Cat * mother; Cat * father; Cat(){}; ~Cat(){}; static Cat* walk_to_min(Cat* c); static Cat* walk_to(Cat* c, int distance); }; </code></pre> <p>But when I try to compile, G++ gives me this:</p> <pre><code>cats.cpp:22: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘walk_to’ cats.cpp:22: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘walk_to’ </code></pre> <p>But if I change - for example - <code>walk_to</code> to <code>gogo</code> it works. So I guess it has something to do with the naming of these methods.</p> <p>What's going on? Why the methods can't be named like I want them to. Imagine a BST, where you have BST_delete and BST_delete_min, sometimes you want to have methods with similar names. What can I do?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>. Sorry everyone, I wasn't showing the real code. this is the real code:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;cstdio&gt; class BST { public: int key; BST* leftChild; BST* rightChild; BST(); BST(int t) : key(t) {} ~BST(){}; void inOrder(BST* bstree); void preOrder(BST* bstree); void postOrder(BST* bstree); static BST* delete_min(BST* root); static BST* delete(BST* root, int value); static BST* search(BST* element, int value); }; </code></pre> <p>by the way, both my methods delete_in and delete have their definitions empty:</p> <pre><code>BST* BST::delete_min(BST* root) { } BST* BST::delete(BST* root, int value) { } </code></pre> <p>and the error:</p> <pre><code>L2Q1-dunder-mifflin-cpp.cpp:21: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘delete’ L2Q1-dunder-mifflin-cpp.cpp:21: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘delete’ </code></pre> <p>Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
