Why it does not compile?

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#define BUFSIZE 128 /*Constant using macro -no checking type*/

using namespace std; /*standard container class*/

class person{
public: /*Default constructor */
char *surname, *givename, *address, *birthday; /*also another

std::string instead of char*,using namespace std.*/

Remove the above line. You are providing the constructor definition later within
the body of class.
btw, this is a declaration and not a definition.
