p.calc(20,10.4);

Answer 1

1. Use <iostream> header instead of <iostream.h>
#include <iostream>
2. Add this line before class declaration:
using namespace std;
3. The calc method is called with parameters of type (int, double)
and compiler doesn't know what method to choose: (int, int) or (int, float).
So the second parameter has to be either int or float.
Since you need to pass the floating point value you should use the following method call:
p.calc(20, 10.4f);
