there should be () <<< cuz you are calling a function LOL

Right

cout << b.getImag() << endl;

wrong!

cout << b.getImag << endl;

I see that you don't have a header guard, I recommend adding one.

Also, no reason in declaring the whole namespace... Change this:

using namespace std;

to :

1
2
using std::cout;
using std::cin;


Make a habit of only using things in a namespace that you actually use in your program.

None of you have answered my question. I'm asking from where the 1 is coming in the output when we don't use ()???
I know it's a function and we must use, but without parenthesis it should have given an error rather than giving 1 as output.

is it doing a ruby thing? http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/2/
