Please, show the definition of class Date.

I am sorry. I have seen it. It shall be before the main. That is this part of code

public: 

Date(int,int,int);
void printDate(); 
};


shall be in header "date.h"

Also instead of

Date day1(int mth,int day,int yr);
shall be

Date day1(mth, day, yr);

i switched to
Date day1(mth,day,yr);
but inside test.cpp the Date day1(mth,day,yr); day1 is highlighted and i still get the same error

What is the content of "date.h"?
A am sorry. Please show anew your test.cpp with your updates.
