c++ newbie

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.

here ya go R.D.

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.

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

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.
