Hello,
I was trying to work a problem from the book and decided to compile and run sample code that is already supposed to work. The problem is it doesn't. The concept of breaking these files up is new to me. Can someone please let me know what to do? The idea behind this code is to take 2 files and get them to run with a header. Does it matter which order these are compiled or exactly how does this go? I have read through the book and it isn't really listed. Sample output can be:
Enter the x and y value: 120 80
distance= 144.222, angle = 33.6901 degrees
Next two numbers (q to quit): 120 50
distance= 130, angle= 22.6199 degrees
Next two numbers (q to quit): q
When I try to compile file2.cpp, I get:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
and
ld returned 1 exit status
When I try to compile file1.cpp, I get:
C:\DOCUME~1\STACYA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ccSGbaaa.o(.text+0x1a0) In function `main':
and
[Linker error] undefined reference to `rect_to_polar(rect)'

}
I am using Dev-C++.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
