I am trying to get this to print the angle between a set of coordinates in degre

Question

I am trying to get this to print the angle between a set of coordinates in degrees. Any idea how i can get this to work correctly? I put the error at the end. I don't really understand other syntax (like "stdio.h" and all that), but I am trying to get this program to work with the syntax that is already in use. Any help would be appreciated

vector2D_angle.cpp: In function

Explanation / Answer

There are multiple errors in program you wrote. In Normalize function actually return type is Double but you are not returning anything inside function and i think the logic what you wrote for normalize function is totally wrong. In some functions you are calling functions but you are not assigning returned values to some variables.
