Thread: Please Help!!!!!!!

/*To me this is like the hardest and most diffucult to understand problem that this book has ever used to explain something. The objective of this program is to show how you can combine two classes that after declared in a .hpp and .cpp file. */

/*If you could please explain to me what's going on here, you don't have to explain the whole thing just one point would be enought (I think)*/

/*I know it's long but if some kind soul out there would be nice enough to explain to me just one point I would really appreciate it. If not just give me an example of using two classes together with a .hpp and .cpp file.*/

Thanks for your help, your help is greatly appreciated.
