Hello.
I wrote a part of code I need for my projects in algorithms class, and i get this message
error C2533: 'Entropy::{ctor}' : constructors not allowed a return type

I don't understand why it keeps returning this message, because I didn't specified any return type for constructor. (If I did, please let me know)

If someone could help me, I'd be very grateful.

class Entropy
{
    // ...
} ; // *** need a semicolon here ***


And ideally, make the code const-correct

int GetCount() const ; // does not modify the object 
// etc.

Yeah, thanks, my bad.
