Identifer not found

In my header file:

i have a method:

Code:

---

entry.h

entry *next;

entry *getNext();

---

when I try to call the method in my cpp file

Code:

---

entry entry::*getNext()
{
      return next;
}

---

I get an error identifier not found.

What am I doing wrong.

So where is your entry class declaration then?

Are your declarations in your header file even in a class?

yes I have included my header file, I just provided the relevant inserts from my code.

entry* entry::getNext()

The * belongs next to the datatype, not somewhere else...
