Unresolved External

[adam.morin]

Hey everyone, this is my first post so hopefully someone can help me. I've tried almost everything with this code and nothing's been working. Technically it is homework, but the point of the assignment was to find and fix errors, and trust me it was a lot uglier than this before i started on it :P. So I'm just wondering if I'm completely blind on this one or if it's a legitimate problem. Here's the code:

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
using namespace std;

class Circle
{
	public:
		int radius;
		void printArea();
		void printDiameter();
};

double radius;
void main()
{
   void printArea(Circle);
   void printDiameter(Circle);
   Circle aBigCircle, aLittleCircle;
   aBigCircle.radius = 50;
   aLittleCircle.radius = 4;
   printArea(aBigCircle);
   printDiameter(aBigCircle);
   printArea(aLittleCircle);
   printDiameter(aLittleCircle);

   std::cin.clear();
   std::cin.ignore();
   getchar();
}

void Circle::printArea()
 {
	double area;
    area = radius * radius * 3.14159;
    cout<<"A circle with radius "<<radius<<" has an area of "<<area<<endl;
 }
void Circle::printDiameter()
{
   double diam;
   diam = radius * 2;
   cout<<"A circle with radius "<<radius<<" has a diameter of "<<diam<<endl;
}

And the following is the build message:

Seriously, any help would be fantastic. Also, this isn't a last resort kind of thing, it's not like it's due tomorrow. I've been working on it for 3 days and I'm dead stuck. Thanks for any future help

Oh, sorry I forgot to mention, it's C++ using Visual Studio 2010.

[manasij7479]

void printArea(Circle);
void printDiameter(Circle);

etc..the functions you have supposedly declared within main do not match with those you have declared and defined for the class. So the compiler takes them to be externs.

You've written class methods, so you need to invoke them as class methods.

printArea(aBigCircle);

becomes

aBigCircle.printArea();

Awesome help guys, thanks. Final code:

// Debug 4-4
// uses Circle class
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
using namespace std;

class Circle
{
	public:
		int radius;
		void printArea();
		void printDiameter();
};

double radius;
void main()
{
   void printArea();
   void printDiameter();
   Circle aBigCircle, aLittleCircle;
   aBigCircle.radius = 50;
   aLittleCircle.radius = 4;
   aBigCircle.printArea();
   aBigCircle.printDiameter();
   aLittleCircle.printArea();
   aLittleCircle.printDiameter();

   std::cin.clear();
   std::cin.ignore();
   getchar();
}

void Circle::printArea()
 {
	double area;
    area = radius * radius * 3.14159;
    cout<<"A circle with radius "<<radius<<" has an area of "<<area<<endl;
 }
void Circle::printDiameter()
{
   double diam;
   diam = radius * 2;
   cout<<"A circle with radius "<<radius<<" has a diameter of "<<diam<<endl;
}

Now all you need to do is drop the conio.h include, remove the global variable and make main return an int.
