It doesn’t compile in Visual Studio, it says

1>MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

class Position
{
private:
    int row;
    int column;
public:
    Position();         //constructor
    ~Position();        //destructor
    void setPos(int, int);  //set the position
    int getRow();       //return the current row
    int getColumn();    //return the current column
    void getPos();      //print the pos
    bool compare(int, int); //compare a row and column with the one in the class
};

Position::Position()
{}
Position::~Position()
{}
void Position::setPos(int x, int y)
{
    row = x;
    column = y;
}
int Position::getRow()

        return true;
    else

It compiled for me under Visual Studio Professional 2008.

Try creating a new project.

Select File->New and specify Project Type of Visual C++ -> Win32 -> Win32 Console Application.

Then click Ok.

Then click on Application Settings and uncheck “Precompiled header”.

Then paste in your code and compile it successfully.
