(15+n2); not working where n2 is class

[iceColdFire]

Hi,
I created a simple c++ program to overload operators,
class Number {...}
now when I use the class like,,,
Number n1(15);
Number n2(5);
(n1+n2).num;
(n1+10).num;
(15+n2);
I get error as 'Reverse iterator' in line (15+n2)...
Kindly explain what the issue is and what is reverse iterator...
Thanksin advance..

You should supply the code, but my guess is that you have made operator+() a
member function, which means you can only use it when a Number object is on
the left hand side of the + sign. If you want a number object on the right
hand side, you need to make operator+() a non-member (and a friend if any
access to private members is required). You need to overload this operator
for the

(Number, int)
(int, Number)
and
(Number, Number)

combinations.
