    Question copy constructor/type converter?

    Hi there,
    I have two individual classes:class A, and class B
    How can I convert class A to class B if necessary, vice versa?
    I tried copy constructors in both classes, it won't work.
    I tried overload assignment operator, but this operator accept both arguments with same type only.
    Thank you!

    .. Eh?

    Code:
    class B;
    
    class A
    {
    public:
    	void set_data(int a)  { data = a; }
    	int get_data(void)   { return data; }
    	void operator = (B t);
    private:
    	int data;
    };
    
    class B
    {
    	int data;
    public:
    	void set_data(int a)  { data = a; }
    	int get_data(void)   { return data; }
    };
    
    void A :: operator = (B t) { data = t.get_data(); }
