help, large numbers

[Ravenn]

mm.., hello. First, i'm kinda new to this... kinda, anyway, i'm supposed to write a prog that handles large numbers, like 200 digits long, by storing them in a string of characters. it's supposed to have a class with functions for all the mathematical operations, reading, and writing, maybe into a text file. i found a prog that does this, written by someone else, but now i want to rewrite it so i can understand how it works.
The code below is supposed to store and show a number like this on screen. It's made of pieces from the one i found. i managed to eliminate compile errors but it bogs down when i try to run it.

gives these errors:
try1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall L_No::L_No(int)" (??0L_No@@QAE@H@Z)
Debug/try1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

can anyone help make it work?... if i have this i think i can make the rest alone:-/

try1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall L_No::L_No(int)"

In the class declaration you say:

public:
L_No(int iNumber);

But there's no definition of this constructor.
So add:

L_No::L_No(int iNumber) 
{
	// do stuff with int iNumber
}

And your code should compile.

if i have this i think i can make the rest alone

Ok. If you say so.
Have fun :icon_mrgreen:

[ithelp]

Define all the constructors.

[Nick Evan]

Define all the constructors.

And how is that different / better then what I said?

i'm a beginer but this mistake is embarrassing:icon_redface:
thanks, it works now
