C++ template class error with operator ==
- by Tommy
Error:
error C2678: binary '==' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'const entry' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
The function:
template <class T, int maxSize>
int indexList<T, maxSize>::search(const T& target) const
{
for (int i = 0; i < maxSize; i++)
if (elements[i] == target) //ERROR???
return i; // target found at position i
// target not found
return -1;
}
indexList.h
indexList.cpp
Is this suppose to be an overloaded operator? Being a template class I am not sure I understand the error?
Solution-
The overload function in the class now declared const:
//Operators
bool entry::operator == (const entry& dE) const <--
{
return (name ==dE.name);
}
