[Resolved] Overloaded Operators

[The Hobo]

I'm trying to create some operators for my class, but get errors:

public static CMovieList operator<(CMovieList c) {

}

It says "Overloadable unary operator expected." How, then, do I do a binary operator?

Maybe this will help

Yes, it did, thanks.

Okay, maybe not. I still don't understand. I read that, then tried this:

public static bool CMovieList operator<(CMovieList a, CMovieList b) {
    return a.AmountMade < b.AmountMade;
}

'and:

public static CMovieList operator>(CMovieList a, CMovieList b) {
    return a.AmountMade > b.AmountMade;
}

And got a trunk full of errors.

You have to return a CMoveList object.

What are the errors? Should'nt you be return either true or false?

I am at home now, so I can't compile it and give you the errors. I am returning true or false (unless that gives off different values).

Lethal, I'll give it a try Monday when I'm on campus again and, if I can't get it working, I'll post the errors.

I agree with DevGrp, you should be returning a bool, when I replied, I didn't look at the operator (I should have.. ), although what I pointed out is also correct..

Am I not returning a bool?

Okay, now that I'm home and have a free moment, I pulled out my C# book for the class I'm taking (I didn't have it when I was at school), and it says this:

public static bool operator <(ClassName op1, ClassName op2) {
    return (op1.value <= op2.value);
}

Isn't that pretty much what I'm doing?

I really wish I had VS.Net here at home so I could work on these things, but I have to finish building my PC before I can install it...and since I'm broke, that's going to be awhile.

Look here, you have CMovieList after bool:

public static bool CMovieList operator>(CMovieList a, CMovieList b) {
    return a.AmountMade > b.AmountMade;
}

You dont need that..

[The Hobo]

Okay...

[The Hobo]

That did it. Thanks for your time.
