}
the line showing stars in comment gives error..the compiler cant understand it..

[SirSmilesaLot]

use
// for comments.

oh no no not that problem i havent used comments in code actually its just for demonstration for u people to understand the problem..the compiler cant understand DISTANCE word in this line...

It doesn't know if you mean ::distance (your class) or std::distance. If you hadn't used using namespace std; in your code you wouldn't have got this problem.

To fix this either specify that you mean your class by writing
::distance d1,d2,d3;
or remove
using namespace std; (I recommend this solution)

got it..didnt know it..thankx alot sir..
