I am having major trouble with a fraction program. i spend hours fixing the errors and it still does not work. this link provides the instructions: http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~sbakiras/mat272/assignment3.pdf
this is my code:
#ifndef RationalNumbers_H
#define RationaNumbers_H
class RationalNumbers
{
private:
double numerator;
double denominator;
public:
RationalNumbers();
RationalNumbers operator+(const RationalNumbers &);
RationalNumbers operator-(const RationalNumbers &);
RationalNumbers operator*(const RationalNumbers &);
RationalNumbers operator/(const RationalNumbers &);
bool operator<(const RationalNumbers &);
bool operator>(const RationalNumbers &);
bool operator<=(const RationalNumbers &);
bool operator>=(const RationalNumbers &);
bool operator==(const RationalNumbers &);
bool operator!=(const RationalNumbers &);
friend void print (const RationalNumbers &);
void setFraction(double, double);
};
#endif
#include "header.cpp"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
RationalNumbers::RationalNumbers()
{
numerator = 0.0;
denominator = 1.0;
if (denominator<=0)
{
cout<<"The denominator must be greater than zero. Please enter again: "<<endl;
cin>>denominator;
}
int i;
for(i=2; i<=numerator; ++i)
{
if( ((numerator/i) == ((int)(numerator/i))) && ((denominator/i) == ((int)(denominator/i))) )
{
numerator /= i;
denominator /= i;
--i;
}
}
}
RationalNumbers RationalNumbers::operator + (const RationalNumbers &rhs)
{
RationalNumbers result;
result.setFraction(numerator * rhs.denominator + rhs.numerator * denominator, denominator * rhs.denominator);
return result;
}
RationalNumbers RationalNumbers::operator - (const RationalNumbers &rhs)
{
RationalNumbers result;
result.setFraction(numerator * rhs.denominator - rhs.numerator * denominator, denominator * rhs.denominator);
return result;
}
RationalNumbers RationalNumbers::operator * (const RationalNumbers &rhs)
{
RationalNumbers result;
result.setFraction(numerator * rhs.numerator, denominator * rhs.denominator);
return result;
}

{

return true;
else
return false;
}

{

return true;
else
return false;
}

{

return true;
else
return false;
}

{

else
return false;
}

{
if(numerator == rhs.numerator && denominator==rhs.denominator)
return true;
else
return false;
}
bool RationalNumbers::operator !=(const RationalNumbers &rhs)
{
if(numerator == rhs.numerator && denominator==rhs.denominator)
return false;
else
return true;
}
void print (const RationalNumbers &rhs)
{
cout<<rhs.numerator<<"/"<<rhs.denominator <<endl;
}
void RationalNumbers::setFraction(double num, double den)
{
numerator = num;
denominator = den;
}
#include <iostream>
#include "Header.cpp"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
RationalNumbers a, b;
cout<<"Enter a fraction for A: ";

cout<<"a not equal to b is true"<<endl;
else

return 0;
}
the errors i get involve the "cout<<" and "cin>>" statements in the main fuction. it says "error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'RationalNumbers' (or there is no acceptable conversion)" Please tell me what i am doing wrong.
