fixing undefined reference

closed account (GL1Rko23)
The undefined reference is on line 33 in "customer.cpp" I had the method "amountFor" originally in customer.cpp but I want to move it to rental.cpp while still calling it in customer.cpp. How do I fix moving this method?

void Rental::amountFor(Rental & aRental, double & thisAmount)
{
    switch (aRental.getMovie().getPriceCode()){
        case Movie::REGULAR:
            thisAmount += 2;
            if(aRental.getDaysRented() > 2)
                thisAmount += (aRental.getDaysRented() - 2) * 1.5;

            break;
        case Movie::NEW_RELEASE:
            thisAmount += aRental.getDaysRented() * 3;
            break;
        case Movie::CHILDRENS:
            thisAmount += 1.5;
            if(aRental.getDaysRented() > 3)
                thisAmount += (aRental.getDaysRented() - 3) * 1.5;

            break;
    }
}

amountFor is a class function of the Customer class, and the Rental class.

You call a class method on an instance of a class

e.g.

1
2
 
Rental someRentalObject;
someRentalObject.amountFor(anotherRentlaObject. 20.0);


You cannot call class functions as if they were not class functions.
