here''s my class definition

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


// Polynomial Class Definition /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
class Polynomial 
{

	// arithmetic operator overloads prototyped as friend functions
	friend Polynomial operator+(const Polynomial&, const Polynomial&);
	friend Polynomial operator+(const double, const Polynomial&);
	friend Polynomial operator+(const Polynomial&, const double);

	friend Polynomial operator-(const Polynomial&, const Polynomial&);
	friend Polynomial operator-(const double, const Polynomial&);
	friend Polynomial operator-(const Polynomial&, const double);

	friend Polynomial operator*(const Polynomial&, const Polynomial&);
	friend Polynomial operator*(const double, const Polynomial&);
	friend Polynomial operator*(const Polynomial&, const double);

public:
	
	// constructors and destructor prototypes
	Polynomial(int t);
	Polynomial();
	Polynomial(const Polynomial& p);
	Polynomial& operator=(const Polynomial& p);
	~Polynomial();

	// member function prototypes
	void changeCoefficiant(int term, double coefficiant);
	double getCoefficiant(int term);
	int numterms();

	double evaluate(double x);

private:
	double* coefficiants; // dynamic array to hold coefficiants of polynomial
	int terms; // number of terms in polynomial, including all that evaluate to 0

};  // Polynomial declaration

and it allways gives me 1 error when it reaches the line friend Polynomial operator+(const Polynomial&, const Polynomial&); ---------error----------- d:\development\eve\polynomial.cpp(10) : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR (compiler file ''msc1.cpp'', line 1786) Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++ Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more information Error executing cl.exe. eve.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) this is the first time i''m trying to overload the arithmetic operators and as far as I can tell i''m doing everything the book says. My definitions are all done with the same prototypes as the overloads defined outside the public: line of my class, minus friend and with the variable names for the arguments. Can someone help me out please?

amazing thank you for such a remarkably fast response

i thought i might of.. but that might of been me confusing the remembering to get it, with remembering that i got it.
