c++ newbie

[Imon Fyre]

ok guys, im new to programming in c++, and im goofing around just trying to learn it while its slow at work on a sat afternoon...

my problem is, ive written a little program that is trying to multiply 2 numbers together using a little function ive made just to learn how to do that stuff..

and when i try to compile it, it gives me an error of
'implicit declaration of function "int imultiply(...)"'

and i would also like to mention that im doin the programming on a sunOS server that im telnetting into...

the command line looks like this when i goto compile

altair$ c++ math.c

any help would be mucho appreciated!!!!

First of all, I would recommend getting a compiler on your machine, all the unix based compilers that I have used are very limited and are very hard to learn to use.

Second of all, please post your code so that I may pick it to find the error.

like i said.. nothing major.. just something simple so that i can learn what im doing

Aside for the Imultiply function being commented out, all I see wrong is that the function is misspelled Imulitply instead of Imultiply. That could be your issue.

[Imon Fyre]

nope.. figgered out what the prob is..

wasnt declaring the function up in the code under the #includes....

did that and it compiled fine..

thanx for all the help guys

[migel628]

Oh yea, that would cause a problem. My bad for not seeing it...

Glad ya got it figured out, I was away for a few days visiting my parents.
