first time using my own class...got compile error on mem. func. def.

[tinycities]

Hi This program preforms various types of arithmeitc on rational #s, but does not divide the fractions into whole #s. I wrote a class called Rational and created several memb. functions. When I attempt to define my print function I get a compile error. I have pasted the code and error below. Do you know what's up with this? Thanks!

P.S.
I decided to include the previous function def. which is the default constructor(Rational::Rational()), just in case the compiler was off by one line.

Rational::Rational()
{
numer = 0;
denom = 1;
}

void Rational print(ostream& out_stream)
{
out_stream << numer << &quot;/&quot; << denom;
}

If you are defining the print function outside the class definition as I think you are doing, then I believe you need the scope resolution operator:

void Rational::print(blah) {
blah blah
}

Hope is a glass of air...
