member function already defined or declared? No idea!
Hello everyone! I'm getting some weird errors and I have no idea why! Because the code looks fine to me, but maybe i'm overlooking somthing!
Its saying member function already defined or declared, and its highlighting int Record::menu(); and int Record::addRecord() but thats impossible becuase
if you look at my source code, it isn't!
here are the errors:
Code:

PHP Code:

}
Note: If i take out #include "animal.h" in the main.cpp i only get 4 errors, not 5. Maybe i need inclusion protection, like those #ifdef or #define,
but I don't know how to use them properly, any help would be great thanks!
