I'm writing a program that uses two classes. One class
RoomDimentions uses the other class
FeetInches as a member variable. I wrote the class
FeetInches and tested and it worked fine. Then I wrote the header file for
RoomDimentions and added it to the project. I put the
#include "RoomDimentions" at the top of my main .cpp file and then tried to compile to see if there were any syntax errors in the
RoomDimentions.h file. I got errors stating that the
FeetInches class used in my main .cpp file were undefined. If I remove the
#include "RoomDimentions" from the main.cpp file, the program compiles just fine. Any ideas on why the program wont compile just from adding a header file for a class that isn't actually used in the program yet? Or why adding that file some how makes it so the compiler dosen't recognize the
FeetInches class? (I'm using VS Express 2012 if that helps. I have tried writing the implimentation .cpp file and adding it but I need to be able to test the code as I go and I cant do that till I get past this. I totally appreciate any help!
Here are the two class header files:
