I have these two funtions in my .h file. They both have the same name but arnt the same as shown below :-
If i was to call one in my .cpp, could it get confused with tthe two if i don't specify which one??Code:Square * getSquare(int x, int y); Square * getSquare(int index);
for example:-
i am assuming not, becuase the two arguments i give match the first function??Code:Square * s = board->getSquare(d1s->getX()+1, d1s->getY() +1); Square * o = board->getSquare(d1s->getX()+2, d1s->getY() +2);
Due to C++'s ability to overload functions, if
d1s->getX()+1 and
d1s->getY() +1
are types convertable to ints, the compiler should know to call the two parameter function with type ints.

One of those takes one parameter, the other takes two. The compiler will know which one to use based on whether you pass in one argument or two. Both your examples pass two arguments, so both will use the first function.
cool, thanks, i thought that might be causing the problem in the game, but now i found the problem, i had x and y the wrong way round in one of my .cpp's, gosh, u gota love coding......
Man, I've had so many of those. I've spent countless hours trying to find retarded mistakes like that. Not that you're retarded in doing it, just retarded it takes so long for something that trivial.
