guys there is some prob with the code i cant fig it out its giving some errors

[a.muqeet khan]

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class  distance {
	int feet;
	float inches;
public :
	distance ():feet(0),inches(0)
	{};
	distance(float in,int ft): feet(ft),inches(in)
	{};
void getdist()
{cout<<"enter the values of feeet and inches ";
cin>> feet>>inches;}
void showdist()
{cout<<"feet= "<<feet<<"\n inches="<<inches;}
 
 distance add_dis(distance);};   

 distance distance::add_dis(distance d2) 
{ distance temp;

temp.inches= inches+d2.inches;

if(temp.inches>=12.0)

temp.inches-= 12.0;
 temp.feet=1;
 temp.feet+=feet+d2.feet;
 return temp;
}



int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{




	distance d1,d3;
	distance d2(5,2.3);

    d1.getdist();

	d3=d1.add_dis(d2);

    d1.showdist();
	d2.showdist();





	return 0;
}

the errors are as follows

[Moschops]

You see where you put using namespace std; ?

By doing that, you included a whole lot of already defined functions and classes. One of those is called distance, so you have defined distance twice.

This is exactly why slapping using namespace std; on the top of everything without understanding what it means is dangerous.

So, either remove using namespace std;, or rename your distance class.
