Thread: C++ Program with Class

I'm trying to run a C++ program with a class, but when I try to compile it, I get a message that says that no such file or directory exists. Here's the code I have so far:

Code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include "savingsAccount.h"
#include <conio.h>


using namespace std;




int main()
{
    SavingsAccount saver1(2000.00);
    SavingsAccount saver2(3000.00);


    SavingsAccount::modifyIntererestRate(0.03);                                     // sets the annualInterestRate to 3%


    cout << "First month with interest balance:\n\n";                               // calculates the monthly interest and print the new balances 
    saver1.calculateMonthlyInterest();
    cout << "Saver 1 Savings Balance: $" << saver1.GetBalance() << "\n";
    
    saver2.calculateMonthlyInterest();
    cout << "Saver 2 Savings Balance: $" << saver2.GetBalance() << "\n";


    cout << endl;


    SavingsAccount::modifyIntererestRate(0.04);                                     // sets the annualInterestRate to 4%


    cout<< "Second month with interest balance:\n\n";                               // and calculate the next month's interest and print the new balances
    saver1.calculateMonthlyInterest();
    cout << "Saver 1 Savings Balance: $" << saver1.GetBalance() << "\n";
    
    saver2.calculateMonthlyInterest();
    cout << "Saver 2 Savings Balance: $" << saver2.GetBalance() << "\n";


    cout << endl;
    getch();
    return 0;
}

The issue is with savingsAccount.h. I have the class source file in the same directory though, so I'm not sure why it isn't compiling.

What are you using to compile?

btw, you can use:

Code:

std::cin.get();

instead of getch() and thus get rid of the non-standard conio.h.

I made sure the .h file was in the project file, and the first error I was getting went away. Now I'm getting another compiler error though: "ld returned 1 exit status"

I would still get rid of conio.h and do what Adrian said above. The main difference is that you have to hit enter instead of any key.

What IDE are you using?

I got rid of the conio.h. I'm using Dev-C++.

Yes, the separate code file for the savingsAccount class is in the project.
