int main(void){
   Calculator c;
   char op;
       
   do{   
         switch( op=c.ShowCalculator()){
                      case 'a': c.Add();      break;
                      case 'b': c.Subtract(); break;
                      case 'c': c.Multiply(); break;
                      case 'd': c.Divide();   break; 
                      default:  c.Setop(-1);
         } 
   }while(op!='q'&& op!='Q');

It should be #ifndef It means "If not defined". It tells the program only to define your header if it's not already defined.

Hope this helped.

the syntax for using #ifdef is :-

1
2
3
4
5
6

8

#ifndef ABC
         statement 1;
         statement 2;
         statement 3;
                .
                .
                .
                .
         statement n;
#endif


The #endif tells the compiler that the 'if' conditions for 'not defined' are over.
this is the error in the calculator.h

#ifndef Calculator_H
#define Calculator_H

   // ... The code

#endif


Or simply in Visual studio

#pragma once

// ... the code

will u please explain how does this '#pragma once' work

pragma directive is Microsoft preprocessor extension and it is only one of the many progmas available in Visual sudio.

It simply works so that your header in not included into translation unit more then once to avoid multiple inclusions and name chlases, just like traditional ifndef define endif preprocessor.

If you like to learn more about other pragmas then have a lok at this site:
