CS12, Lab 5

Week of February 5-9

Topics:

· Operator overloading

· More practice with Unix

You will be further enhancing the counter class.

All work must be done in Unix. Files must compile with a makefile. You may use the makefile from lab 4.

To do:

· Copy the files counter.h, counter.cc and main.cc into a new directory.

· Add a friend function that overloads the insertion operator << to allow printing out the value of the counter onto an output stream object.

· Write (or modify from a previous lab) a main program (main.cc) that uses cout << to print out the value of the counter.

Extra credit

· Add a method that overloads the assignment operator = to allow assigning a value to the Counter object. Do the assignment directly or (better) using the setCount() method from lab 2.

· Add tests of this operator to your main program.
