using class functions

rachelcmorgan84 (2)
I'm in the final week of my online intro to programming class. I haven't had any issues all semester, which is good because my professor does not help his students at all. It hasn't been an issue, but I can't figure out this last assignment. I'm not looking for someone to give me the answer, just help to figure it out. Our book doesn't have any examples similar to our assignment. I looked online and none of the people who have had questions about this have gotten very good answers or they had different problems than I am having. I'm not sure if I have a simple/stupid problem or if this last chapter just went straight over my head.

The compiler error message is- multiple definition of 'TermPaper::TermPaper()'

You should never have to include .cpp files. Include the .h file instead.

Wow. The professor specifically told us to add it to the project. Thank you!
