So its not asking for an input like (3X^2)+5x , more like

cout << "please put in the coefficient";
cin >> coeficient;

The functions given above are only descriptions. They dont have C++ code in them. Would it be asking basically to right out the description on what it wants or the actual fully functional C++ code?

Also how would I go about making the .h files so i can do

#include<iostream>
#include<somename.h>

using namespace std;
