Hey I've written a program that prompts the user to enter sides and the program figures out what kind of triangle the sides equal. I keep getting some retarted error saying "3 triangleCalc.cpp `triangleType' does not name a type ". It's also saying " 1 Taxes\triangleCalc.cpp header.h: No such file or directory." This is the coding that I have.

}In case you haven't noticed these are supposed to be seperate files.
If anyone figures out this stupid problem it'd be much appreciated.
