need some help with the friend function that overloads the << operator heres my code thus far....
#ifndef PRODUCT
#define PRODUCT
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class CProduct
{
private:
int productID; // 5-digit product ID number
int manufactureID; // 4-digit manufacturer's ID
double price; // wholesale price
double markup; // percent markup from wholesale, .nn
public:
CProduct(int pID=00000, int mID=0000, double n_price=0, double n_markup=0) // default and explicit-value constructor
{
productID=pID;
manufactureID=mID;
price=n_price;
markup=n_markup;
}
double retailPrice(); // RetailPrice Returns the retail price
// = wholesale price increased by markup
bool operator<(CProduct x); // overloaded < operator
// Receives a CProduct object
// Returns true iff this product's ID number <
// the argument's product ID number
friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& a, CProduct b); // overloaded friend output << operator
};
#endif
//----------------heres my cpp file--------------------------
#include "Product.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
double CProduct::retailPrice()
{
return price - (price * markup/100);
}
bool CProduct::operator<(CProduct x)
{
if(productID < x.productID)
return true;
else
return false;
}
ostream& operator<<(ostream& a, CProduct b)
{
a << b.productID;
a << b.manufactureID;
a << b.price;
a << b.markup;
}
//-----------------------heres my main to test the functions----------------------
#include "Product.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
CProduct product1(12345,1234,25.03,12);//product 1 constr
CProduct product2(67891,5678,15,35);//product 2 constr
if(product1<product2)
cout << product1;
else if(product2<product1)
cout << product2;
return 0;
}if you see any other problems please let me know
