int main(void)
{
	ComplexType c1,
				c2,
				c3;

	c3 = c1 + c2;

	cout<<c3.realPart<<","<<c3.fakePart<<endl;

	fakePart = 0;
}

ComplexType ComplexType::operator +(ComplexType c)
{
	ComplexType temp;
	temp.realPart = realPart + c.realPart;
	temp.fakePart = fakePart + c.fakePart;
	return (temp);

#ifndef _COMPLEX
#define _COMPLEX

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstddef>

using namespace std;

class ComplexType
{
public:

	ComplexType();
	~ComplexType();
	ComplexType(const ComplexType& c);
	ComplexType operator +(ComplexType c);

	double realPart;
	double fakePart;

private:

};

#endif


so.. the error i am getting is "1>ComplexType.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall ComplexType::ComplexType(class ComplexType const &)" (??0ComplexType@@QAE@ABV0@@Z) referenced in function "public: class ComplexType __thiscall ComplexType::operator+(class ComplexType)" (??HComplexType@@QAE?AV0@V0@@Z)"

if i take out the line that says ComplexType temp;
under the operator+ function.. this error disappears... any ideas??

You don't ever define this:

ComplexType(const ComplexType& c);
