    error msg

    I am getting the following error msg:
    Code:
    Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'operator <<(ostream &,const String &)'
    This is the code that relates to it :
    Code:
    //this is in the struct
    friend ostream& operator <<( ostream& out, const String& wrd);
    
    //this is the fnct
    ostream& operator <<( ostream& out, const String& wrd)
    {
       out << wrd.str;
       return out;
    }
    Thanx

    Ok, yes I edited my entire message, that's because I'm a moron. The reason your getting the message is because ( at least it seems) that you are passing either a struct or class as a argument yet you overloaded the operator telling it you are passing a String reference. Here is the solution:
    Code:
                friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, class& );
    just replace class with whatever name you gave your class or struct.
