#include <stream.h>
#include <stdio.h>

class foo
    {
    int cat;
public:
    foo( int x , int y ) { cat = x + y; }
    const int sile() { return sile; }
    };

main()
    {
    foo x(1,7);
    cout << x.sile();
    }

Sorry, fixed in 1.1:

"b.c", line 9: error: bad return value type for foo::sile(): const int foo::()  ( const int  expected)
