Problem with C++ exercise

EDN Admin · Feb 20, 2007

The exercise says:
( Employee Class) Create a class called Employee that includes three pieces of information as data members--a first name (type string), a last name (type string) and a monthly salary (type int). Your class should have a constructor that initializes the three data members. Provide a set and a get function for each data member. If the monthly salary is not positive, set it to 0. Write a test program that demonstrates class Employees capabilities. Create two Employee objects and display each objects yearly salary. Then give each Employee a 10 percent raise and display each Employees yearly salary again.

I need to know if I am heading in the right direction so here is what I have so far: 
// ex3.14.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
// 
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream> 
using std::cout; 
using std::cin; 
using std::endl; 
#include <string> 
using std::string; 
using std::getline; 
// Employee class definition 
class Employee
{ 
public:
Employee( string ); // constructor that initializes an Employee object 
void setFirstName( string ); // function that sets the first name 
string getFirstName(); // function that gets the first name 
void displayMessage(); // function that displays a message 
void setLastName( string ); // function that sets the last name 
string getLastName( string ); // function that gets the last name 
void displayMessage(); // function that displays a message 
int salary;
