c++ problem, when debuging

[mic_mic]

hello every one ,
i am working on this code for a week , but i have a problem that every time i try to debug it i receive many errors i can't understand them
here is my code

[m4ster_r0shi]

The problem is that your compiler doesn't know how to add/subtract complex numbers using operators +/-

A simple solution is to define two functions for these operations...

//...

cmplxNumber add_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2)
{
    //...
}

cmplxNumber sub_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2)
{
    //...
}

//...

...and then use them like this:

//...

C = add_cmplx(A, B);

//...

C = sub_cmplx(A, B);

//...

thank you "m4Ster" for helping .
but now i received 3 errors

I know people are going to call me petty, but a point here. Why have you got a structure in an object oriented architecture. I tend to find that if you stick to the basic rules you get less problems down the line. If you have something that you need to pass form one object to another then you haven't designed it true objectivity in mind if you need a structure. Try rethinking your design [maybe just as an exercise if it's a vital piece of code that you can afford to re build]. If everything is object oriented it's a lot easier to keep track of..

[m4ster_r0shi]

This means that you just declared your functions, i.e. you just added these lines to your code:

cmplxNumber add_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2);
cmplxNumber sub_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2);

You have to define them too (i.e. tell the compiler exactly how they work). Just like you do with PrintComplex.

This is its declaration:

ostream & PrintComplex( ostream & outDevice, cmplxNumber Root );

And this is its definition:

ostream & PrintComplex( ostream & outDevice, cmplxNumber Root )
{
	outDevice << Root.dReal;
	if( Root.dImaginary < 0.0 ) {
		outDevice << " - " << abs(Root.dImaginary) << " j" << endl;
	}
	else if( Root.dImaginary > 0.0 ) {
		outDevice << " + " << Root.dImaginary << " j" << endl; 
	}
	else 
		cout << endl;
	return outDevice;
}

i did

cmplxNumber add_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2);
{
	C = add_cmplx(A, B);
};
cmplxNumber sub_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2) ;
{
	C = sub_cmplx(A, B);
};

and i received

Error	1	error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)	c:\users\michael\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\hw 3 _ shokery\hw3_shokery.cpp	230

[m4ster_r0shi]

Hmmm... I'm really beginning to believe that the code you posted above is not yours...
Why don't you refresh your knowledge of functions and structures and then try again?

it is my , but i just start studying c++ 2 months ago.
it's my homework , and the teacher was helping me , but he is far a way now and it due by tomorrow .
thank you

[m4ster_r0shi]

it due by tomorrow

Well, you'd better hurry and check out the links I gave you!

I'll give you one last hint:

cmplxNumber add_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & c1, const cmplxNumber & c2)
{
    // create a complex number variable (let's call it temp) 
    
    // set temp's real part to 
    // c1's real part plus c2's real part
    
    // set temp's imaginary part to 
    // c1's imaginary part plus c2's imaginary part
    
    // return temp;
}

[mic_mic]

thank you so much " m4ster"

cmplxNumber add_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & B, const cmplxNumber & A)
{
	
	temp.dReal = A.dReal + B.dReal;
	temp.dImaginary = A.dImaginary + B.dImaginary ;
	return temp ;
	
};
cmplxNumber sub_cmplx(const cmplxNumber & B, const cmplxNumber & A ) 
{
	
	temp2.dReal = A.dReal - B.dReal ;
	temp2.dImaginary = A.dImaginary - B.dImaginary ;
	
	return temp2 ;
};

now i don't have any errors . just a logical error all the results are zero .
