I tried to create a method that returns the summation of 2 objects from type "distance" here is the method distance add_distance(distance d1); \ in header file

    distance distance::add_distance (distance d1) \\ implementation file
{
    distance sum;
    sum.feet = feet + d1.feet;
    sum.length = length + d1.length;
    return sum;
}

but during building the program it gives me an error that says "distance: ambiguous symbol" anyone got a solution for this ???? ^^

Your error is caused by some other code that you didn't show us. Please read this: [mcve] – HolyBlackCat Jun 05 '21 at 07:39
πάντα ῥεῖ thinks it's caused by a conflict with the standard function called `distance`. Try renaming the class, or getting rid of `using namespace std;`. – HolyBlackCat Jun 05 '21 at 07:41

And your edit changed what exactly now? Besides that is complete bogus code, and won't even compile, you should [edit] and provide a [mcve] if you believe my duplicate was wrongly chosen. – πάντα ῥεῖ Jun 05 '21 at 08:17
