**this is the code and it keeps giving me a red line under (z=v2*v1),,please help me finding the mistake :( :(
thanks ^_^

The return type of your * operator is vector. So when you return a double from that operator, it gets automatically converted to vector (via your constructor - if you don't want implicit conversion from double to vector, mark your constructor as explicit). However there's no implicit conversion from vector to double, so trying to assign the vector v2*v1 to the double z is an error.

Since there's no reason for the result of multiplication operator to be a vector, you should probably just change the return type to double.

Thank U so much ^_________________^
