Hi, while writing a simplified version of a program i created the
following class, however when i went to compile and run the program
there was an error saying

"multiple types in one declaration" and there was a mention of a
"[Build Error]" and "Error 1"

it also highlights the final line (the one with a closing brace and
semi-colon), i cannot see what is wrong with this, please help

sorry. the operating system is windows using Dev c++ and below is the
whole code, main() only includes a simple function call for one of the
classes which causes no problems. the full error message says "[Build
error] multiple types in one decleration "error 1" "

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

class Account
{
     public:
            virtual void returnbalance(){ cout << balance; }
            virtual void deposit(float amount)
            {
                 balance += amount;
                 std::cout << "$" << amount << " Has Been Added To
Your Account" << std::endl;
            }
            virtual void withdraw(float amount)
            {
                 if (balance > amount)
                 {
                    balance -= amount;
                    std::cout << "$" << amount << " Has Been
Withdrawn From Your Account" << std::endl;
                 }
                 else
                 {
                      std::cout << "Insufficient Funds" << std::endl;
                 }
            }
     protected:
               float balance;
               int pin_number;
               int account_number;
}

Missing ; here. Should be
};

Fix was in line. Scroll up, you were missing a ; after your definition of
class Account
