So in a class called "Rectangle" this is one of the public members. This is what it's prototype looks like:

friend ostream& operator<< (ostream& os, const Rectangle& myRectangle);

and in a .cpp file somewhere I have this is as the function definition:

ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Rectangle& myRectangle)
{
	os << "Width: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetWidth << endl;
	os << "Height: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetHeight << endl;
	os << "Area: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetArea << endl;
	os << "X: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetXLocation << endl;
	os << "Y: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetYLocation << endl;
	os << "Rectangles Created: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetRectanglesCreated << endl;
	os << "Rectangles Existing: " << setw(20) << myRectangle.GetRectanglesExisting << endl;
	os << "Color: " <<  setw(20) << "R:" << myRectangle.GetBlockColour.redNumber << " G:" << myRectangle.GetBlockColour.greenNumber << " B:" << myRectangle.GetBlockColour.blueNumber << " A:" << myRectangle.GetBlockColour.alphaNumber << endl;
}

I must be doing something wrong because for every accessor I'm getting an error that reads:

function call missing argument list; use '&Rectangle::(accessor name)' to create a pointer to member

What am I doing wrong?

tbh, I don't know if this will work, but try changing the & in the arguments to *
