Make sure the external variable able to access in your current file. For Testing easy way is declare same name local variable for testing your logic working not , later change try to access external variable.

This problem appeared to me when I added .c file instead of .cpp so check the name of the files as well

You need to look at the line above LNK1120, the LNK2019 error tells you what is wrong.

Inside of your void display(class student) function you are calling a function named decimals that is not defined anywhere in your source code or in a library.

LNK 2019 error is a linker error which generally means some object is not available to the linker. Try clean rebuilding the project and then try to execute it.
