I get an error whenever i try to get the last
cout << "dist1 = "; dist1.showdist() << endl;
to display a new line; am I missing anything?
You're trying to write an endl to the function dist1.showdist().
That's not going to work.
What you want is what you did with dist2.

cout << "dist1 = ";
dist1.showdist();
cout << endl;
