I'm trying to write a program that
• Defines an array of five circles objects where radius is set using the random number provided by the random class utilising the parameterised constructor
• Defines a second array of five circles objects where radius is set using the random number provided by the random class utilising the setRadius method
• Displays the areas of each circle within each array using getArea()
The problem I need help with to display the areas of each circle within each array using getArea() method, I need to access the array which has the radius values of five circle in each array and then work out the area 3.14 * Radius * Radius. Then display the area to the screen.
Also after doing some research, do I need to Instantiate Circle object
which I entered in Circle myCircle;. However it came with an error saying
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Circle::Circle(void)" (??0Circle@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function _main

float getRadius(); // returns the radius of a circle
float getArea(); // calculates and returns the areas of its circle
};

How do I get the area of each circle within each array using getArea() function
