Default Method

Hi,

I am new to C++, passionate about the perspective it offers but still find that the learning curve is somehow steep ;-)

I am trying to put together a little String object, defining it as a type.

I would like my object to return its content through a "default" method. That way I could console out the "content" (so to speak) of the String without having to explicitly call its Text (or Value whatever) method.

Something like
cout << myString << endl;

thank you very much !

Try reading the tutorials this site offers.

You need to overload operator << for std::ostream and String (and perhaps also >> for std::istream and std::getline).

I should have thought about it. Thanks a lot !!
