Classes - Card Game Class & Array (help)

deathc0rps (1)
Hey guys, this is my first post here!

I have an assignment for college, which is also a personal assignment that I wanted to do. My idea is to create a simple Card class to be used for card games.

Since I have to hand it in class by the end of the week, I didn't want to elaborate on it extensively... for now at least.

As of now, the problem is that my Card.h class is not being included, even thought my include command looks proper:

#include "Card.h"

All I have done is the Class (.h) file, the Constructor (.cpp) and the main file. Here they are:

private:

        int _value;

          i++;
          }
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


That's pretty much it. I've tried adding/removing lib's that's why there's so many included in these examples, aswell as passing the array by reference and without it.

The error I get is:

In file included in main.cpp (line 9 from main.cpp)

I just started this 30 mins ago and all I wanted to do (so far) was to generate the card deck and randomize the cards. I'm using a convention for the types of cards as an integer "value", as seen in code. If any one else has suggestions or other ideas as to how I could approach it let me know.

Thanks for your time!

You shouldn't be #including cpp files. Header files only! Multiple source files are joined by the linker, not the compiler.

Also, what's the actual error message? All you told us was what line it's on.
