using UML diagram to write a header

This is the diagram:

Integer
-number: int
+Integer():
+Integer(num: int):
+~Integer():
+getInt(): int
+operator<(Integer): bool
+operator++(): int
+operator--(): int

Here is my code, prob. not quite right but was a little confused on a few lines and the book had about 2 pages on UML which did not help me much. Some of these lines I'm not sure are right but I tried what I could from reading the book. For example the operators. If I could just get some input or maybe some help on what I need to do. Thanks

Code:

#ifndef INTEGER_H
#define INTEGER_H

class Integer
{
private:
	int number;

public:
	Integer();     // Constructor
	Integer(int num)
	~Integer();  // Destructor
	int getInt();
	bool operator < (int Integer &);
	int operator ++ (const Integer &);
	int operator -- (const Integer &);

};
#endif

I believe the UML wants:

Code:

bool operator < (Integer& rhs);

instead of:

Code:

bool operator < (int Integer &);

rhs? and what about the operators ++ and -- . I keep getting errors "error C2675: unary '--' : 'Integer' does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator" for each <, ++ , and -- the same error ?

Your overload of operator++ and operator-- should take no arguments (prefix version), and/or a dummy int argument (postfix version). From the UML diagram, the former is the case.

ok thanks. I fixed those errors. Now I am getting 4 errors and they are all dealing with the bool line. Not sure what is wrong because I wrote it how I thought the diagram showed. And cpjust line of code did not help.

Post your current code and the error messages.

rhs is short for Right Hand Side (which is probably the most common name for the argument on the right side of a == or < or + ... operator.)

my code:

Code:

#ifndef INTEGER_H
#define INTEGER_H

class Integer
{
private:
	int number;

public:
	Integer();   // Constructor
	Integer(int num);
	~Integer();  // Destructor
	int getInt();
	bool operator < (Integer);
	int operator ++ ();
	int operator -- ();

};
#endif

and the errors messages:

Code:

You try to use >, but you only define <.

Where do the errors come from? You have code that implements the class? And code that uses the class?

By the way, note that getInt() and operator< should be const member functions since they, logically, do not modify the object's state. You can consider implementing operator< as a free function (a friend, if necessary).
