To Call an Object Outside of Class

**laserlight** · 11-25-2007

Instead of taking two ints, take two Date objects (or whatever type you defined firstDate and secondDate to be) :

Code:

bool isLarger(const Date& firstDate, const Date& secondDate)
{
	if (firstDate.convert() > secondDate.convert())
	{
		cout << "The first date entered is the most recent. " << endl << endl;
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		cout << "The second date entered is the most recent. " << endl << endl;
		return false;
	}
}

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I changed my call to this, and it compiled correctly:

Code:

bool isLarger(CDate firstDate, CDate secondDate)

How do I reference it from the main() function? One of my guesses (and the one with the least errors) was the following, but I received the error message "'CDate' : illegal use of this type as an expression":

Code:

isLarger(CDate firstDate, CDate secondDate)

Thanks again.
