Trouble Compiling Prog That Uses Classes

Jweim (28)
I'm working on this program that runs some functions on a class called dayType, where the user enters a day and then the program can tell you the next day, previous day, etc. The problem I have is that when I try to compile the program, in the implementation file the function printDay() is causing issue. The compiler is saying, "Out of line definition of 'printDay' does not match any declaration in 'dayType'. It seems like everything is set up correctly, but I'm not sure what the issue is. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The signature of a function declaration must match the signature in the implementation. Do you notice any claring differences here?
