Hey guys,
Annother wee problem in c++ again,
I am writing a program to act as a simple calculator. Its basically an introduction to functions.
This is the program:
/* Write a program to simulate a basic calculator
program has a function called menu() which displays choices to a user
1) add two numbers
2) subtract 2 numbers
3) to multiply 2 numbers
4) to divide 2 numbers
5) to get the modulus of 2 numbers
The functin menu() will return a value (1-5) back to main()
Based on this number, use a switch case to call the appropriate function.
Each function has 2 integer formal parameters and return a value.
Pass this returned value and the 2 integer values to a display function to display result
The 2 integer numbers are positive only and entered by the user */
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int menu();
int add(int,int);
int subtract(int,int);
int multiply (int,int);
float divide (float,float);
int mod(int,int);
void displayfunction(int, int, int);
int main()
{
int option = menu();
int value1,value2, result;
switch (option)
{
case 1:
cout << "Please enter 2 values to add.\n";
cin >> value1 >> value2;
result = add(value1,value2);
break;
case 2:
cout << "Please enter 2 values to subtract.\n";
cin >> value1 >> value2;
result = subtract(value1,value2);
break;
case 3:
cout << "Please enter 2 values to multiply.\n";
cin >> value1 >> value2;
result = multiply(value1,value2);
break;
case 4:
cout << "Please enter 2 values to Divide (2nd number is the divisor)\n";
cin >> value1 >> value2;
result = divide(value1,value2);
break;
case 5:
cout << "Please enter a divide function to get the modulus of. (2nd number is the divisor)\n";
cin >> value1 >> value2;
result = mod(value1, value2);
break;
default:
cout << "Invalid option";
}
displayfunction(value1,value2,result);
return 0;
}
int menu()
{
int option;
do
{
cout << " Welcome to calculator, please choose from the following options:\n 1) Add\n 2) Subtract\n3)Multiply\n4)Divide\n5)Modulus\n Please choose by pressing any integer value between 1 and 5.\n";
cin >> option;
}
while ( option <1 || option >5 );
return option;
}
int add(int a, int b)
{
return a+b;
}
int subract(int a, int b)
{
return a-b;
}
int multiply(int a, int b)
{
return a*b;
}
float divide(float a, float b)
{
return a/b;
}
int mod(int a, int b)
{
return a%b;
}
void displayfunction(int a, int b, int c)
{
cout << "The result of the calculation between: " << a << " and " << b << " is: \n" << c << endl;
}
The problem i am getting is this:
1>------ Build started: Project: Calculator, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Linking...
1>Calculator.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl subtract(int,int)" (?subtract@@YAHHH@Z) referenced in function _main
1>C:\Users\Greg\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Calculator\Debug\Calculator.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Greg\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Calculator\Calculator\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>Calculator - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
This is probably a simple thing but i just cant see to lay my eyes on the problem.
Mark, as you will probably be the one to reply to this: i am aware that feeding in arguments of the wrong data type is a bad idea, but for the purposes of this question, my lecturer said it was ok.
(Also we still havent covered type casting)
Thanks for the help in advance,
Greg
