Is there any way to overload the >
(greater than) operator, to be able to do something like:
myClass *a = new myClass(1);
myClass *b = new myClass(3);
if(a > b) //it should compare the int values from the constructors
//do something
I've tried overloading the operator, but got various errors. I am using VC++.
You cannot overload operators for pointers, because they are primitive types (and you cannot create an overload where both arguments are primitive types); instead, you can overload the operators for your objects of user-defined types (not pointer to them):
class myClass
{
// ...
public:
bool operator>(const myClass & right) const
{
return this->whatever()>right.whatever();
}
};
myClass *a = new myClass(1);
myClass *b = new myClass(3);
if(*a > *b) //it should compare the int values from the constructors
//do something
notice that, if you don't have a particular reason to allocate stuff on the heap, it's much better to just allocate it on the stack:
myClass a(1);
myClass b(3);
if(a > b)
// do something
Try
class MyClass
{
int value;
public:
bool operator>(MyClass const& rhs) const
{
return value > rhs.value;
}
MyClass(int v):value(v){}
};
int main()
{
MyClass a(1);
MyClass b(3);
if (a > b) { PLOP } else { POOP }
}
