this wont work


int pong::collision()
{
    //collison decetion
    //if they hit each other
    if(bypos == ypos-52 && bxpos == xpos-52)
    {
        ypos = -ypos;
        bypos = -bypos;
    }    
    //from the side
    if(bxpos == xpos-52)
    {
        xpos = -xpos;
        bxpos = -bxpos;
    } 
        if(bypos == ypos+52)
    {
        ypos = -ypos;
        bypos = -bypos;
    }    
    //from the side
    if(bxpos == xpos+52)
    {
        xpos = -xpos;
        bxpos = -bxpos;
    }
}

it goes straight through the other one. when I have this done I can make a game of pong, my 1-year dream ;)

there are 10 types of people in this world, those who can do bianary and those who cant.

My first suggestion would be to not use the == operator. The reason being is that it's too exact. There may be a chance that you won't catch the values exactly when they equal each other. The better approach is to use >= or <=, because then if you're off by a pixel or two, the condition is still evaluated. And no one will notice if it's off by that small an amount.
