I am attempting to write a program that defines a class Money which contains two integer data fields, dollar and cents. And then Overload four arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /.

I haven't done anything with main.cpp because I keep receiving an error when I attempt to compile:

As the error kind of says you have a function called Money that takes an integer which you have defined in your header file, but you haven't declared it in your .cpp file anywhere. (Which is why it shows an unresolved external symbol error).

Create the function somewhere and it should all work correctly.
