Help... what is wrong with this?

I trying to make a Runner.cpp so can run different programs in the same project.

Why is this static thing not working?

In motto.cpp it should be int Motto::run( ){}

You need to specify that your implementation of the run method is from your Motto class. If not run is just a method flying around (not member of the Motto class class). At least I guess

Unresolved external symbol usually means that you call a declared function that is not defined. In this case its not defined because you are not specifying what class your run method in Motto.cpp should be in

Oh and also could you please use
#ifndef MYCLASSNAME_H
#define MYCLASSNAME_H
at the top of your header file and
#endif
at the bottom as include guards instead of
#pragma once
?

Just so I can sleep well tonight

@b3b3 then, what does that do?

That was just whatever VS put in...I didn't change anything

@billgates include guards prevent redefinition of global vars/funcs etc. So the stuff inside your header only gets defined once and after that not anymore. At least I understood it like that xD you could try including your header multiple times and just see what happens with or without include guards

@b3b3 I thought '#pragma once' was essentially shorthand for that though, since it only allows the file to be included once. What's the difference?

just needed an example that works..

It's like Python scripts vs classes it seems and **also the cpp needs to link to the header**

@alcamore idk I'm using the other one only. Never had problems with it so I'm not going to change. If you're too lazy to write 3 lines more then you can obviously use that pragma once thingie

@b3b3 looked into it a bit, found a short article about it if you're interested.

@alcamore as far as I know #pragma once is not always supported by compilers and the whole #define thing is just cleaner, because you declare the beginning and the end and everything, you could compare it to not writing brackets and writing brackets
