Overloading << and >> operators and cannot get the program to compile!!!

These are my three files.

The header file....

}

And file main...

#include <iostream>
#include "Month.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	Month month("March");

	month.printMonth();

	month--;

	month.printMonth();

	month++;

	month.printMonth();
	
	cout << month;
	cin >> month;
	cout << month;
	return 0;

}

Keeps giving me erros saying that << and >> is not a member of Month class, see declaration of Month class, and i look and it seems to be all in order. Need help.

[Rashakil Fol]

Where you wrote ostream &Month::operator<<(ostream &strm, const Month &obj) , you should be writing ostream &operator<<(ostream &strm, const Month &obj) . The function you're defining is not declared as a member function of the Month class.

Edit: (The same goes for your operator>>.)

omg thanks so much
