Why the compiling result is "undefined reference to 'function'"?

I had just compiled it and it did not work.And I don't know how to solve these compiling errors.the Build Messages shows that

undefined reference to 'compare(const Student_info&,const Student_info&);'
undefined reference to 'read(std::istream&, Student_info&);'
undefined reference to 'grade(const Student_info&);'

what's wrong with that?Here is the code:

#include <algorithm>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::domain_error;
using std::endl;
using std::max;
using std::setprecision;
using std::sort;
using std::streamsize;
using std::string;
using std::vector;

struct Student_info{
  std::string name;
  double midterm,final;
  std::vector<double> homework;
};

bool compare(const Student_info&,const Student_info&);
std::istream& read(std::istream&, Student_info&);
std::istream& read_hw(std::istream&,std::vector<double>&);

double grade(double,double,double);
double grade(double,double,const std::vector<double>&);
double grade(const Student_info&);

int main(){
vector<Student_info> students;
Student_info record;
string::size_type maxlen = 0;
while(read(cin,record)){
    maxlen = max(maxlen ,record.name.size());
    students.push_back(record);
}
sort(students.begin(),students.end(),compare);

for(vector<Student_info>::size_type i = 0;i != students.size();++i){
    cout<<students[i].name<<string(maxlen+1-students[i].name.size(),' ');

    try{
        double final_grade = grade(students[i]);
        streamsize prec = cout.precision();
        cout<<setprecision(3)<<final_grade<<setprecision(prec);
    }catch(domain_error e){
    cout<<e.what();
    }
    cout<<endl;
}
return 0;
}

Any suggestion would be good.thanks!!!

The errors are not from the compiler but from linker. Your code compiles fine, but then when linker sees the call to e.g. bool compare(const Student_info&,const Student_info&); in the code it needs to match it with the definition of the compare function. And there isn't any. Add missing functions.
