Class with public functions?

nicoleb (18)
I need to add a public member function (addMoney) to add money1 and money2. I'm having a hard time understanding how to access the function with money1 and money2? Also, my professor wants the addMoney function in that format, and I have no experience with a function in a class this way? The name of the class inside of the function AND before the function name? I really don't understand what's going on with that. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks

public:

int main()

	Money money2;
	money2.getDollars(20);
	money2.getCents(10);

How about this:

	Money addMoney(Money otherMoney) const
	{
		Money result;

		result.dollars = dollars + otherMoney.dollars;
		result.cents = cents + otherMoney.cents;

		return result;
	}
Note that adding cents may exceed 100 cents (i.e. -> dollar).

Used like so:

...
	int getDollars(int) const
	{
		return dollars;
	}
	int getCents(int) const
	{
		return cents;
	}
...
int main()
{
	Money money1(10, 25);
	Money money2(20, 10);
	Money money3 = money1.addMoney(money2);

    cout << "money3: " << money3.getDollars() << "." << money3.getCents();

	system("pause");
	return 0;
}


The name of the class inside of the function AND before the function name?
It is the return type like int.
