I'm writing a lesson code from a C++ for dummies book and ran into this error.
/*
CallMemberFunction - define and invoke a function
that a member of the class Student

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Student
{
public:
// add a completed course to the record
double addCourse(int hours, double grade)
{
// calculate the sum of all courses times
// the average grade
double weightedGPA;
weightedGPA = semesterHours * gpa;
// now add in the new course
semesterHours += hours;
weightedGPA += grade * hours;
gpa = weightedGPA / semesterHours;
// return the new gpa
return gpa;
}
int semesterHours;
double gpa;
};
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
// create a Student object and initialize it
Student s;
s.semesterHours = 3;
s.gpa = 3.0;
// the values before the call
cout << "Before: s = (" << s.semesterHours

cout << "Adding 3 hours with a grade of 4.0" << endl;
s.addCourse(3, 4.0); // call the member function
// the values are now changed
cout << "After: s = (" << s.semesterHours

// wait until user is ready before terminating program
// to allow the user to see program results
cout << "Press Enter to continue...." << endl;
cin.ignore(10,'\n');
cin.get();
return 0;

I started this on a windows 11 home laptop and then tried to compile it on a windows 11 pro computer and ran into this problem. I added these two compiler flags to the IDE -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ and still getting this error, any help greatly appreciated.
