I'm still learning classes in C++ and I don't understand this error that I'm getting from `#include QuadraticEquation`. Here's my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include "QuadraticEquation"
using namespace std;

class QuadraticEquation{
private:
    double a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
public:
    QuadraticEquation(double a, double b, double c)
    {
        this-> a = a;
        this-> b = b;
        this-> c = c;
    }
    double getA(){
        return a;
    }
    double getB(){
        return b;
    }
    double getC(){
        return c;
    }
    
    double getDiscriminant(){
        return (pow(b, 2) - 4 * a * c);
    }
    
    double getRoot1(){
        return ((-b + sqrt(pow(b, 2) - 4 * a * c)) / (2 * a));
    }
    double getRoot2(){
        return ((-b - sqrt(pow(b, 2) - 4 * a * c)) / (2 * a));
    }
};

int main()
{
    double a = 0, b = 0, c = 0;
    //User enters values for a, b, and c.
    cout << "Enter the values for a, b, and c: ";
    cin >> a >> b >> c;
    
    //Object created.
    QuadraticEquation q1 (a, b, c);
    
    if (q1.getDiscriminant() > 0){
        cout << "Root 1: " << q1.getRoot1() << ", Root 2: " << q1.getRoot2() << endl;
        //Two Roots
    }else if (q1.getDiscriminant() == 0){
        //One root
        cout << "Root 1: " << q1.getRoot1() << endl;
    }else{
        //No roots
        cout << "The equation has no real roots." << endl;
    }
}

Best answer

You do not have a file called QuadraticEquation. If you remove the line

#include "QuadraticEquation"

your code compiles and runs.

So the only time I'll ever use `#include "QuadraticEquation"` is if I use the class in a seperate file from main?

Something like that. :)
