I need some help with this program I am writing in class. When ever I get ready to compile it it gives me an error that there are multiple definitions and i have tried to figure out what the mistake is but i cant. your help would be be helpful and thanks in advance. It seems that the problem is with main.cpp, person.h, and person.cpp.
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "person.cpp"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Person p1;
p1.setFirstName("Carlos");
p1.setLastName("Martinez");
p1.setMiddleInit('X');
p1.setStreetAddress("Avenue");
p1.setCity("Atlanta");
p1.setState("GA");
p1.setZipCode("568467");
p1.setHomePhone("829385925");
p1.setWorkPhone("990128399");
cout << p1.getFirstName() << endl;
cout << p1.getLastName() << endl;
cout << p1.getMiddleInit() << endl;
cout << p1.getStreetAddress() << endl;
cout << p1.getCity() << endl;
cout << p1.getState() << endl;
cout << p1.getZipCode()<< endl;
cout << p1.getHomePhone() << endl;
cout << p1.getWorkPhone() << endl;
//system("PAUSE"); // only needed for devc++
return 0;
}
person.h
#include "date.h"

I also have a date.h and date.cpp but that does not seem to be the problem. date.h

~Date();
void setDate( int, int, int );

int getYear(); // method or function to retrieve a year value
private:
int day; // data member of this class
int month; // data member of this class
int year; // data member of this class
};
#endif
date.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "date.h"
using namespace std;
Date::Date(){
day = 1; // this and the following lines insure that Date objects
month = 1; // start in a consistent state
year = 1900;
}
// the following destructor releases resources used by objects of type Date
// when they no longer exist
Date::~Date()
{
}
void Date::setDate( int d, int m, int y )
{
if ( y >= 1900 )
year = y; // validates that year is 1900 or greater
else{
year = 1900;
cout << "Invalid year! " << y << endl;
}
if ( m >= 1 && m <= 12)
month = m;
else{
month = 1;
day = 1;
cout << "Invalid month!" << endl;}
if (m == 1 || m == 3 || m == 5 || m == 7 || m == 8 || m == 10 || m == 12)
{
if ( d >= 1 && d <= 31 )
day = d;
else {
day = 1;
cout << "Invalid day! " << d << endl;
}
}
else { if ( m == 4 || m == 6 || m == 9 || m == 11 )
{

here are the errors
