Templates....

[MrWizard]

My struggle against templates continues. Say I have this code
AutoPtr< int > scores( new int[ 10 ] );

Then I have the following loop.

for ( int i = 0; i < NUM_SCORES; i++ )
{
cout << scores[ i ] = i * 2;
}

Do I need to overload the = operator as well as the << and the [] operators?? How would the << operator look? I already have done the [] operator overload. Thanks

[] aren't operators are they?

[MrWizard]

Yep, they are operators, the only operators that cannot be overloaded are as follows:

. (Direct Member select)
? : (conditional expression)
:: (scope resolution)
.* (Direct Member selection
sizeof (size of object or type)

I'm pretty sure that's right. Can anyone else confirm?

I also doubt you could overload -> but what you said makes sense although I am not very far into operator overloading and such.

-> Can only be overloaded as a member function.

Can you overload & too?

Yep, no problem
