Ive been working on a solution to my homework problem for a couple hours and I believe I have found the answer but I keep getting this error code

 double remain = Loan ;
 while ( remain > 0 ){
 interest = remain * rate/1200 ;

 }

}

I know some of the logic that makes the calculator work might be messed up but I am just trying to figure out how to fix the error, any help is greatly appreciated.

You shouldn't have semicolons after your function definitions on 102,107,and 131.

process() should have a closing brace somewhere.

Line 97 will declare a Mortgage object that will be destroyed after process() completes (once you put a closing brace at the end of the function).

Thanks for the speedy reply, I changed some things around and deleted the semi colons, however I'm still getting the 2nd error message

1>Hw_3.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Mortgage::Mortgage(double,double,int)" (??0Mortgage@@QAE@NNH@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl process(void)" (?process@@YAXXZ)

I have my Mortgage class defined in a header file, I dont know if that is what is messing it up or not.

It's looking for the definition of the constructor for the Mortgage class. Is that in this file or in another one? If it's in another file, you need to be compiling the cpp files together (or make them part of the same project in your IDE).

There in the same project and at the top of my .cpp file I have #include "Mortgage.h"

Heres the header file

class Mortgage
{

     private : 
         double  Loan ;    // amount
         double  rate ;          // annual rate 
         int term ;             // terms in number of month
         double payment ;

     public :
         
         Mortgage();
         double get_Loan() ;
         double get_rate () ;
         double get_payment() ;
         int get_term() ;
                  
         double calc_payment();  // calculate the monthly payment
         void printTable();  // print the mortgage payment table
         void display() ;    // print out the summary of the mortgage
		
		
		
 Mortgage(double Loan, double rate , int term) ;   
 Mortgage(Mortgage & mtg) ;     // copy constructor
};

Why are you redefining the methods with different parameters on lines 13 and 14 of your prior listing? You need to define them with the proper parameters on lines 18 and 19 of the new listing. Then, you need to define the methods

Mortgage::Mortgage(double Loan,double rate,int term)
{
   constructor code here
}

double Mortgage::calc_payment(double yada1,double yada2,int yada3) 
{

}

It's probably a good idea to take a spin back through your text or your favorite online resource to refresh some of these concepts before trying to write the code. I know it seems like it will take more time, but if you have the concept down it will in fact go much more quickly.

I actually didnt write any of the Header file code, it was given to the class as part of the assignment, looks like this is going to be interesting.

The header file is fine. You could implement the method (function) definitions in the same file as main if you wanted to

#include "mortgage.h"

Mortgage::Mortgage(//params)
{

}

Mortgage::calcpayment(//params)
{

}

//more definitions

int main()
{


}

but people usually place the definitions for the class in one .cpp file and the main program in another.

It won't take you long, you just need to copy/paste some stuff around and make sure that your definitions match the declarations in the header.

You sir, are my hero.
