overloading operators

[aikiart]

Good afternoon,

I'm working on a class assignmeent trying to use overloaded math operators + - but i'm getting the following error when I compile.

Line 29 of the main program generates this error:

Linker error undefined reference to 'TimeClass::operator+(TimeClass const&)

any help is appreciated.

Here is the code:

TimeClass.h

I really suggest abstracting the problem. Rather than posting 300 lines of code, 290 of which have nothing to do with the operator you are trying to overload, you should be able to make a <20 line program that overload the operator. If doing that alone doesn't help you solve your problem, it will be much easier for us to spot the error :)

Your code is so lengthy, please first you break your program into small program and then try to solve your problem. Actually I didn't able to understand what you try to do with this program and find lots of error in your code when I try to debug it.

Best Of Luck
