how to initialize const?

[greenapplesodaex]

code:

Event.h         Event(string des, string loc, Date s, Date e);         string description;         string location;         const Date start; //<-         const Date end; //<-

code:

Event.cc Event::Event(string des, string loc, Date s, Date e):start(s),end(e) {       description= des;         location = loc; }

everything works up to here... like when i compile, it doesnt scream at me

but in another class, where i use this class

code:

//Calendar.cc         const Date tsd(sd);         const Date ted(ed);         Event tempEvent(des,loc,tsd,ted);

then i got this compile error

Calendar.cc:43: instantiated from here
