    class structure, a little help please!

    class Name {

    public:
    Name( char *, char * );
    Name();
    ~Name();
    bool operator==( const Name &n ) const;
    const Name operator+=( const Name &n );
    char first[ 26 ];
    char last[ 26 ];
    friend ostream &operator<<( ostream &, const Name &n );
    friend istream &operator>>( istream &, Name &n );
    };

    #endif

    Name::Name(char *thefirst, char *thelast )
    {

    }

    ostream &operator<<( ostream &output, const Name &n )
    {
    output << n.first << n.last;
    return output;
    }
    istream &operator>>( istream &input, Name &n )
    {
    input >> setw( 26 ) >> n.first;
    input >> setw( 26 ) >> n.last;
    return input;
    }

    bool Nameerator==( const Name &n ) const
    {
    if (n.first != n.last )
    return false;

    if ( n.first == n.last )
    return true;
    }

    Nameerator +=( char )
    {
    Name&last += Name&first;
    return &last;
    }

    char main()
    {
    Name name;
    cout << "Enter full name in the form of abcdefghijk abcdefghijk:\n";
    cin >> name;

    cout << " The name entered was: " << name << endl;

    return 0;
    }
    Okay I have tried what acouple of your suggestions and it still won't work. I guess I just don't understand. My teacher says that I have to use the == and += operators, so that's why that part is there. I think I just don't get the argument part and then using the main to use the class.

    Where in the heck is your CONSTRUCTOR, I see the overloaded one but I don't see the Name() one. I don't see any code in your constructors either.

    You ought to declare your Classes in .h (header) files.
    In your perator..() fxn's why is there Name&last=..., this is not the way, grrrrl.
