copy classes? default parameters?

Hi
Two questions:
1. I have a simple int2 class to hold x and y and wanna be able to compere two of them to see if they are equal. Any built-in class stuff (which might be fatser) i can use intead of:
2. Can i leave a earlier (more to the left) param as default.
3. any shortcut on this forum for [/source] and such?
thanks
Erik
1) There isn't a built-in equality for user classes but you can define an operator== function that lets you use the same syntax as for built in types:
Note the use of const both for the parameter and for the method itself. These allow you to use this in more flexible situations.
2) No. Only the rightmost parameters can be defaulted in C++. You can, however, create muliple overloads of a function that will do what you want, provided the paramters are of different types:
Not a perfect solution to your problem, but gets around a lot of situations.

class int2{public: int2(int a=0,int b=0) : x(a),y(b) { } bool operator==(const int2 &i) const { return(x==i.x && y==i.y); } int x,y;};Note the use of const both for the parameter and for the method itself. These allow you to use this in more flexible situations.
void f(){ int2 a(1,2),b(3,4); if(a==b) blah; if(a==int2(10,20)) blah;}2) No. Only the rightmost parameters can be defaulted in C++. You can, however, create muliple overloads of a function that will do what you want, provided the paramters are of different types:
void f(int a=10,const std::string &s="default"){ std::cout << a << " " << s << std::endl;}void f(const std::string &s){ f(10,s);}void x(){ f(); // prints "10 default" f(18); // prints "18 default" f("hello"); prints "10 hello" f(26,"arglebargle"); // prints "26 arglebargle"}Not a perfect solution to your problem, but gets around a lot of situations.

1) You can overloading operators.
You can give your class "int2" an equality operator like so.
Google "c++ operator overloading" for more info.
2) No, the default parameters cannot come before a non-default one.
3) Not as far as I'm aware.

bool operator==( const int2 &one, const int2 &two ){ return ( one.x == two.x) && (one.y == two.y);}2) No, the default parameters cannot come before a non-default one.

Hi!
1. I would say comparing like that is fine. I would overload the '==' operator for this purpose, as it would probably result in more comprehensive code when used.
2. You can only use default values for the rightmost parameters, as there would be no way (in C++) to tell the compiler which values are omitted otherwise.
3. I don't find typing down [_source] too tiring, so I didn't search for shortcuts, so I can't help you with that.
Cheers

It should probably also return a bool, but thats just being pedantic [grin]

Only if you define pedantic as turning nonsense code that will not compile into actual code that will compile [grin]. I guess I'm not going to convince you all that that one was a typo.
Edited. Thanks rip-off. Man, I'm on fire today. I think I need to sit quietly in the corner and rock for a while.
