operators with array of pointers

I have an array of objects

Code:

---

Object ob[10];

---

And this operators

Code:

---

Object Object::operator+(const Object& ob)
{
    Object c;

    c._a = _a + ob._a;
    c._b = _b + ob._b;

    return c;
}

istream& operator>>(istream& is, Object& ob)
{
  double a, b;

  is >> a >> b;
  ob.set(a,b);
  return is;
}

---

Now I want to make an array of pointers like this

Code:

---

Object  *ob[10];

ob[i] = new Object;

---

But now I have to change my operators and i'm not beeing able to do that.
Any help how to do it?

What exactly do you mean by 'change' ?

Maybe the following syntax' is what you're looking for:

Code:

---

//1
an_object = ob[i]->operator+(another_object);
//or
an_object = *(ob+i) + another_object;
//2
std::cin>>*(ob+i);

What makes you think you have to change them?

The only issue with them is that your operator+ should be declared const, and your operator>> should be declared static (which it may well be in your header file.
