Objects with ostream_iterator and copy()

if I want to do this

Code:

---

std::copy(myobj.begin(),myobj.end(),std::ostream_iterator<myobjtype>(std::cout, "\n");

---

What method do I have to overload in myobjtype to get this to work? Is it operator<<()?

Code:

---

ostream & operator<<(ostream &, myobjtype);

---

Is that the right signature?

You need to implement a forward iterator concept for you class.
And you need to implement << operator, yes.
The signature should be
std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream & lhs, const myobjtype & rhs);

Yes, you'll need to overload that operator. If the object is large, you'd rather pass it by const reference.

Thank you. Elysia, what else needs to be done than just implement operator<<()?

Edit:
I think I know what you mean now. myobj is a std::vector. I realize now that that makes my code example a little off.
The actual sample is:

Code:

---

    std::vector<move> * moves = get_legal_moves();
    std::copy(moves->begin(), moves->end,
            std::ostream_iterator<move>(std::cout, "\n"));

---

Forward iterator and operator << should be all.

>>Forward iterator
vector::iterator should work... move is not a container class.

This new code certainly doesn't require an iterator concept. But this was not there when I made the original reply.
