Non_class Type?

OK, I have striped the program down to this, with no resolution.

I am getting an error message:
0_01\Water_Level_R0_01\Water_Level_R0_01.ino: In function 'void loop()':
C:\Users\jacks\OneDrive\ERG\Water Level\Design\Software\Rev 0_01\Water_Level_R0_01\Water_Level_R0_01.ino:112:21: error: request for member 'Run' in 'OffsetCalSwitch', which is of non-class type 'clOffsetSwitch()'
OffsetCalSwitch.Run();
^~~

exit status 1

Compilation error: request for member 'Run' in 'OffsetCalSwitch', which is of non-class type 'clOffsetSwitch()'

Obviously, the project is much bigger, but this fails for me.
Do you get the same?
What am I doing wrong?

try this

clOffsetSwitch OffsetCalSwitch;

If the constructor has no arguments, the object must be initialized without empty brackets after the name

Welcome to the forum

Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'

Use code tags (the < CODE/ > icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination

OMG! WTF! That did it!
40 Years of OOP programming, and I never had to do that!
Thanks!

Originally, I had two switch pins.
So I made a generic function to handle both.
Obviously, with a change in the pin_number. That's where my problems started.
How should I do the constructor to accept the "Pin Number"?

It's not solved till it's resolved!

So, how do we do a Constructor with a parameter passed?
