Thread: conversion functions

Hello...Im having a problem figuring out how to convert a long datatype to an object...as well converting a user-defined type to a long datatype.....here is what i wrote so far...any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

class Time
   {
   private:
      int hrs;                       //1 to 23
      int mins;                      //0 to 59
      int secs;			     //0 to 59
public:                           //no-arg constructor
      Time() : hrs(0), mins(0), secs(0)
         {  }
.....

Time(long allSeconds)
  {
      allSeconds = Time(secs);

  }
operator long()
  {
      return secs;
  }
};
void main(void_
{
......

// Statement to test the conversion functions
   long  allSeconds = 77777;
   Time t6(allSeconds);
   cout << '\n' << allSeconds << " converts to ";
   t6.display();
   allSeconds = long(t5);
   cout << '\n'; t5.display(); 
   cout <<" converts to " << allSeconds;
}
