Overloading Operators.

[MadMAxJr]

I'm getting some unusual errors trying to work this block of code. I have to overload the >> operator of cin so that when I give it a class, it will kick out all 3 of the private class contents.

istream &operator>>( istream &input, Time &thingy )
{
input >> thingy.setHour;
input.ignore();
input >> thingy.setMin;
input.ignore();
input >> thingy.setSec;

return input;

the 'set' calls are functions that assign the given values to the private variables of the class. I get this error

: error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type '' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

(edit: this error occurs on the lines where the set functions are called)

Help? I just need to get an understanding of what this error means, really.

Nevermind, fixed it. Silly me, calling a function without passing any parameters whatsoever to it. NEW problem!

This warning occurs 3 times in this line of code on the output line.

warning C4761: integral size mismatch in argument; conversion supplied

stream &operator<<( ostream &output, const Time &thingy )
{

	output << setw(2) << setfill('0')<< thingy.getHour <<":"<< thingy.getMin<<":"<< thingy.getSec;
	return output;  // Should be HR:MN:SC output
}

Thingy is a time class that holds hour, minute, seconds. The goal of this line is to output in a format with leading zeroes if a digit is less than ten.

You have to call functions with (), even if they have no parameters. Change your thingy.getHour, thing.getMin, thingy.getSec to thingy.getHour(), thingy.getMin(), and thingy.getSec() and you should be good.
