No Match for operator>>

[darkknight914]

I need to implement istream outside of class and without friend. I keep getting "no match for operator>>" error.

class Dot
{
public:
  void PutName (const char*); 
  void PutBarCode (uint32_t);   
  void PutCost (float);
  const char* ObtainName ()const;         
  uint32_t ObtainBarCode () const;        
  float ObtainCost () const;    

private:

char* name_;
uinit32_t code_;
float cost;

};

std::istream& operator>> (std::istream& is, Dot& d)
{
 is >> d.ObtainName() >> d.ObtainBarCode() >> d.ObtainCost();
return is;
}

Where are your class function implementations?

Also you probably will need to call your member functions and "assign" the values to the class variables.

std::istream& operator>> (std::istream& is, Dot& d)
{
     char name[100];
     is >> name;
     PutName(name);
... etc.

    return is;
} 

Oh, and where are you allocating memory for that pointer? You really should consider using a std::string instead of the error prone C-strings.

I figured it out. I included a print function in my class and called it in my overload function. I was trying to implement without having to use friend nor add operator function to my class. Thanks for the help though.
