linker error undefined reference

The output count function is giving me a killer headache can someone please tell whats wrong with this function. The problem calls for a function called outputCount that has one formal parameter ostream. When I run my code I just get a error that says "[Linker error] undefined reference to `CounterType::outputCount(std::ostream&)' " So what did i do wrong? please help
