Overloading << and >> operators (syntax)
How do I go about coding that in the .h and .cpp files? Currently I have it all in the .h file, but this is causing problems (although the overloading works I think - doesn't give any compile errors) with other parts of the program. I was wondering how the syntax would go as far as declaring the function declaration in the .h file, but putting the actual code in the .cpp?

Re: Overloading << and >> operators (syntax)
Quote:
this is pretty easily done, but the overloaded << and >> cannot be members of the class, they have to be declared friends of it. So anywhere outside of the class just declare friend ostream& operator(ostream&, cont Object&); then in the cpp file just provide the implementation

Depends on what you're doing with the overloaded operators. It is entirely possible for you to declare an overloaded << without declaring it as a friend function. For instance, in the following example, I've overloaded << to add a number and return the resulting int value. BTW homncruse, this answers your question as well :) : Code:
myint.h
======
class MyInt {
private:
int val;
public:
MyInt(int init);
int operator <<(int val2);
};
myint.C
======
#include <iostream>
#include "myint.h"
using namespace std;
MyInt::MyInt(int init) {
val = init;
}
int MyInt::operator<< (int val2) {
val += val2;
return val;
}
int main(void) {
int x;
MyInt foo(4);
x = foo << 2;
cout << x << endl;
return 0;
}

Thanks for the help, I've got the overloading working now, but I'm having a problem with pointers
 To keep subject lines consistent with subjects (so we don't go "off-topic") I'll post that problem in a new thread here
