New to classes

May1111 (4)
Hello,
I am a beginner new to classes. I am trying to write a point class that displays two points when tested. However, when I test it I get my two numbers with 5 additional numbers between them i.e (1,7) I get 1684937. Here is my code and I would appreciate any help, thank you.

Don't use void main(). Use int main instead. If your compiler does not complain change it. It surely is quite old.

Anyway your problem is here:
In Point.cpp line 56
change '\n' to "\n".

Also use same file. In main it's point.h in Point.cpp is Point.h.
