Well, i thought everything was perfect since my last post. But i have the strangest error. Maybe its because i don't completely understand references... So anyway here is my string class:

class StRiNg
	{
	public:
		StRiNg();
		StRiNg(const char* const);
		StRiNg(const StRiNg&);
		~StRiNg();
		StRiNg& operator=(const StRiNg&);
		char &operator[](int);
		char operator[](int) const;
		StRiNg operator+(const StRiNg&);
		void operator+=(const StRiNg&);
		friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&,StRiNg&);
		bool operator==(const StRiNg&);
		bool operator!=(const StRiNg&);
		int GetLength() { return sTrLeN; }
		const char* GetString() const { return sTr; }
	private:
		StRiNg(int);

		char* sTr;
		int sTrLeN;
	};

	// String Class Defined
	StRiNg::StRiNg()
	{
		sTrLeN = 0;
		sTr = new char[1];
		sTr[0] = '\0';
	}
	StRiNg::StRiNg(int len)
	{
		sTr = new char[len+1];
		for(int i = 0; i <= len; i++)
			sTr = '\0';
		sTrLeN = len;
	}
	StRiNg::StRiNg(const char* const s)
	{
		if(s == 0)
		{
			sTrLeN = 0;
			sTr = new char[1];
			sTr[0] = '\0';
		}
		else
		{
			sTrLeN = (int)strlen(s);
			sTr = new char[sTrLeN+1];
			for(int i = 0; i < sTrLeN; i++)
				sTr[i] = s[i];
			sTr[sTrLeN] = '\0';
		}
	}
	StRiNg::StRiNg(const StRiNg& s)
	{
		sTrLeN = s.GetLength();
		sTr = new char[sTrLeN+1];
		for(int i = 0; i < sTrLeN; i++)
			sTr[i] = s[i];
		sTr[sTrLeN] = '\0';
	}
	StRiNg::~StRiNg()
	{
		delete [] sTr;
		sTrLeN = 0;
	}
	StRiNg& StRiNg::operator=(const StRiNg& s)
	{
		if(this == &s)
			return *this;
		delete [] sTr;
		sTrLeN = s.GetLength();
		sTr = new char[sTrLeN+1];
		for(int i = 0; i < sTrLeN; i++)
			sTr[i] = s[i];
		sTr[sTrLeN] = '\0';
		return *this;
	}
	char& StRiNg::operator[](int offset)
	{
		if(offset > sTrLeN)
			return sTr[sTrLeN-1];
		else if(offset >= 0)
			return sTr[offset];
		else
			return sTr[0];
	}
	char StRiNg::operator[](int offset) const
	{
		if(offset > sTrLeN)
			return sTr[sTrLeN-1];
		else if(offset >= 0)
			return sTr[offset];
		else
			return sTr[0];
	}
	StRiNg StRiNg::operator+(const StRiNg& s)
	{
		int totLen = sTrLeN + s.GetLength();
		StRiNg temp(totLen);
		int i,j;
		for(i = 0; i < sTrLeN; i++)
			temp[i] = sTr[i];
		for(j = 0; j < s.GetLength(); j++,i++)
			temp[i] = s[i];
		temp[totLen] = '\0';
		return temp;
	}
	void StRiNg::operator+=(const StRiNg& s)
	{
		int len = s.GetLength();
		int totLen = sTrLeN + len;
		StRiNg temp(totLen);
		int i,j;
		for(i = 0; i < sTrLeN; i++)
			temp[i] = sTr[i];
		for(j = 0; j < s.GetLength(); j++,i++)
			temp[i] = s[i-sTrLeN];
		temp[totLen] = '\0';
		*this = temp;
	}
	bool StRiNg::operator==(const StRiNg& s)
	{
		if(s.GetLength() != sTrLeN)
			return false;
		bool same = true;
		for(int i = 0; i < sTrLeN && same; i++)
		{
			if(sTr[i] != s[i])
				same = false;
		}
		if(!same)
			return false;
		return true;
	}
	bool StRiNg::operator!=(const StRiNg& s)
	{
		if(*this == s)
			return false;
		return true;
	}

	// For cout <<
	ostream& operator<<(ostream& theStream,StRiNg& theString)
	{
		theStream << theString.sTr;
		return theStream;
	}

the errors I'm getting are where i define a StRiNg& object and attempt to do the GetLength() function:

I'm making it in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition if that will do anything..

Thanks!

BTW!
In the errors it says: String::StRiNg because its in a namespace named String.

You're trying to pass a const object to a function that does not receive a const object. Change one or the other.

Wow tyvm, guess i just wasn't paying attention
