illegal token for "::"

For the line Point::setPoint(... it tells me that it is invalid and I set it to Point::&setPoint(.. with then stats it is a illegal operation. I'm a little lost on this one anyone mine pointing me in the right direction.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. class Point
  2. {
  3. public:
  4. 	Point(double=0.0, double=0.0);
  5. 	Point &setPoint(double xPoint, double yPoint);
  6. 	double distance(Point & p);
  7. 	void print() const;
  8. private:
  9. 	double x;
  10. 	double y;
  11. 	};
  12.  
  13. Point::setPoint(double xPoint, double yPoint)
  14. {  
  15. 	xPoint = x; 
  16. 	yPoint = y; 
  17. 	return *this; 
  18. }
  19.  
  20. double Point::distance(Point &p)
  21. {
  22. 	double dis; 
  23. 	dis = sqrt((x-p.x)*(x-p.x)+(y-p.y)*(y-p.y));
  24. 	return dis; 
  25. }
  26.  
  27. void Point::print() const
  28. {
  29. 	cout << "(" << x << ", " << y << ")" << endl; 
  30. }
  31.  
  32. int main() 
  33. {
  34. 	Point myObject, myObject2; 
  35. 	myObject.setPoint(4,5).print();
  36. 	myObject2.setPoint(3,4).print();
  37. 	return 0; 
  38. }

Everything but a constructor needs a return type, so I assume you want this:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Point& Point::setPoint(double xPoint, double yPoint)

since it matches this declaration in the Point class (see red):

class Point
{
public:
	Point(double=0.0, double=0.0);
	Point &setPoint(double xPoint, double yPoint);
	double distance(Point & p);
	void print() const;
private:
	double x;
	double y;
	};
