I'm trying to make a rectangle object and just do some simple commands. It has been a while since I've coded in c++ so I'm not sure what syntax errors I have? Any help would be appreciated
I'm getting the error:
request for member 'area' in 'c', which is of non-class type 'Rectangle*'
and the same error for perimeter as well

~Rectangle();

float area();
float perimeter();
float setWidth(float width);
float setLength(float length);
bool compareTo(Rectangle a,Rectangle b);
};
#endif // RECTANGLE_H#include "Rectangle.h"
