(Sorry, I know there are many, many posts about this error, but none of them seem to have as simple a program as I'm trying to build. I apologize, but I don't know enough about C++ to figure out how to use the other questions to my advantage.)
I'm building a simple calculator program based on defining and initializing a class for my C++ course. I think that I'm nearly finished, but I keep getting an error:
Driver.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall >Calculator::Calculator(void)" (??0Calculator@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function >_main
I think it has something to do with my default constructor, but can anyone help me out? I appreciate any help I can get!
code following:
Calculator.cpp
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "Calculator.h"
using namespace std;
void Calculator::SetOperation(char oper, double opa, double opb)
{
Calculator::operation = oper;
Calculator::op1 = opa;
Calculator::op2 = opb;
}
void Calculator::Calc()
{
switch(operation)
{
case ('+'):
answer = op1 + op2;
result = "Your operation is addition: " + to_string(op1) + " + " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
break;
case ('-'):
answer = op1 - op2;
result = "Your operation is subtraction: " + to_string(op1) + " - " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
break;
case ('*'):
answer = op1 * op2;
result = "Your operation is multiplication: " + to_string(op1) + " * " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
break;
case ('/'):
answer = op1 / op2;
result = "Your operation is division: " + to_string(op1) + " / " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
break;
}
}
string Calculator::GetResults()
{
return result;

You have declared the constructor in
Calculator.h
but have not defined it inCalculator.cpp
(or anywhere else).Adding
to
Calculator.cpp
will fix the issue.
