I have been working through accelerated c++ and have made it to chapter 4. When I try using header files to organize the code as the book does I get several errors.
undefined reference to
read(std::istream&, Student_info&)
undefined reference to grade(Student_info const&)
undefined reference to
compare(Student_info const&, Student_info const&)`
Below is my code:
All of these files are in the same folder and I am using VS Code
