Hello,

when i try to compile this program (it has three parts) I receive an error message that confuses me. Below are the code and error message.

  1. #include <iostream>
  2.  
  3. using std::cout;
  4. using std::endl;
  5.  
  6. #include "Complex.h"
  7.  
  8. int main()
  9. {
  10. 	Complex x(2, 3), y(4, 5), z;
  11.  
  12. 	x.printComplex();
  13. 	cout << " + ";
  14. 	y.printComplex();
  15. 	cout << " = ";
  16. 	x.add(y);
  17. 	x.printComplex();
  18.  
  19. 	cout << '\n';
  20. 	x.setComplexNumber(10, 1); //reset Real
  21. 	y.setComplexNumber(11, 5); //reset Imaginery
  22. 	x.printComplex();
  23. 	cout << " - ";
  24. 	y.printComplex();
  25. 	cout << " = ";
  26. 	x.subtract(y);
  27. 	x.printComplex();
  28.  
  29. 	cout << '\n';
  30. 	x.equal(y);
  31. 	cout << endl;
  32.  
  33. 	return 0;
  34. }

I do not understand what that means. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much, I really appreciate it a lot.

Hi, thanks for reading my message. I've changed my code a bit and I get it to compile but the math is wrong.

  3. using std::cout;

  9. {
  10. 	Complex x;
  11. 	Complex y( 3, 4);
  12. 	Complex z( 6, 2);
  13.  
  14. 	cout << "x: ";
  15. 	x.printComplex();
  16. 	cout << "\ny: ";
  17. 	y.printComplex();

  19. 	z.printComplex();
  20.  
  21. 	x = y + z;
  22. 	cout << "\n\nx = y + z:\n";

  11. private:
  12. 	double realPart;
  13. 	double imagineryPart;
  14. 	double real;
  15. 	double imaginery;
  16. };
  17.  
  18. #endif

Could you please look this over and tell me what myself and the debugger are messing up?

Also, how do I make use of the equal function so that it doesn't just sit there?

Thanks for your help.
