LNK2019 error with simple class

Question

(Sorry, I know there are many, many posts about this error, but none of them seem to have as simple a program as I'm trying to build. I apologize, but I don't know enough about C++ to figure out how to use the other questions to my advantage.)

I'm building a simple calculator program based on defining and initializing a class for my C++ course. I think that I'm nearly finished, but I keep getting an error:

Driver.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall >Calculator::Calculator(void)" (??0Calculator@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function >_main

I think it has something to do with my default constructor, but can anyone help me out? I appreciate any help I can get!

code following:

Calculator.cpp

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "Calculator.h"

using namespace std;

void Calculator::SetOperation(char oper, double opa, double opb)
{
    Calculator::operation = oper;
    Calculator::op1 = opa;
    Calculator::op2 = opb;
}

void Calculator::Calc()
{
    switch(operation)
        {
        case ('+'):
            answer = op1 + op2;
            result = "Your operation is addition: " + to_string(op1) + " + " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
            break;

        case ('-'):
            answer = op1 - op2;
            result = "Your operation is subtraction: " + to_string(op1) + " - " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
            break;

        case ('*'):
            answer = op1 * op2;
            result = "Your operation is multiplication: " + to_string(op1) + " * " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
            break;

        case ('/'):
            answer = op1 / op2;
            result = "Your operation is division: " + to_string(op1) + " / " + to_string(op2) + " = " + to_string(answer) + '\n';
            break;
        }
}

string Calculator::GetResults()
{
    return result;
}

You have declared the constructor in Calculator.h but have not defined it in Calculator.cpp (or anywhere else).

Adding

Calculator::Calculator() { }

to Calculator.cpp will fix the issue.

I would up vote if I could, that was exactly what I needed but the other posted questions were too hard to parse with my limited programming knowledge. Thanks! – ThatGuy01001010 Jun 10 '15 at 19:14
