hello,
i should implement this class: -
namespace test_1
-
{
-
class statistician
-
{
-
public:
-
// CONSTRUCTOR
-
statistician( );
-
// MODIFICATION MEMBER FUNCTIONS
-
void next(double r);
-
void reset( );
-
// CONSTANT MEMBER FUNCTIONS
-
int length( ) const;
-
double sum( ) const;
-
double mean( ) const;
-
double minimum( ) const;
-
double maximum( ) const;
-
// FRIEND FUNCTIONS
-
friend statistician operator +
-
(const statistician & s1, const statistician & s2);
-
friend statistician operator *
-
(double scale, const statistician & s);
-
private:
-
int count; // How many numbers in the sequence
-
double total; // The sum of all the numbers in the sequence
-
double tinyest; // The smallest number in the sequence
-
double largest; // The largest number in the sequence
-
};
-
-
// NON-MEMBER functions for the statistician class
-
bool operator ==(const statistician& s1, const statistician& s2);
-
}
-
But for me it is unfortuantely not clear what the actual difference
between the friend, non-member function (operator ==) and the normal
member function is and/or how these friend and non-member function have
to be definied in the implementation file...? :((
can anybody help me here?

Open the namespace and implement them. Or prefix each name with the
name of the namespace. And if it's a member, prefix it with the name
of the class as well.

See these FAQs on friendship: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/friends.html
The gist is that the operator==() function can do all it needs without
access to the private parts (since it can use the public member
functions to retrieve and compare the data members), whereas the
operator+() function must modify the private data members of the
statistician object that it will return and cannot do so through the
public member functions. See also these guidelines about overloading
operators: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit....html#faq-13.9

oh okay, thanks!! I have implemented only the skeleton of the
implementation class but when I run the testfile (stattest.cpp) some
strange errors occur:
My header-file -
#ifndef STATS_H // Prevent duplicate definition
-
#define STATS_H
-
#include <iostream>
-
-
namespace test_1
-
{
-
class statistician
-
{
-
public:
-
// CONSTRUCTOR
-
statistician( );
-
// MODIFICATION MEMBER FUNCTIONS
-
void next(double r);
-
void reset( );
-
// CONSTANT MEMBER FUNCTIONS
-
int length( ) const;
-
double sum( ) const;
-
double mean( ) const;
-
double minimum( ) const;
-
double maximum( ) const;
-
// FRIEND FUNCTIONS
-
friend statistician operator +
-
(const statistician & s1, const statistician & s2);
-
friend statistician operator *
-
(double scale, const statistician & s);
-
private:
-
int count; // How many numbers in the sequence
-
double total; // The sum of all the numbers in the sequence
-
double tinyest; // The smallest number in the sequence
-
double largest; // The largest number in the sequence
-
};
-
-
// NON-MEMBER functions for the statistician class
-
bool operator ==(const statistician& s1, const statistician& s2);
-
}
-
-
#endif
-
The implementation-file, as said only the definition of the functions
in order to see if the testfile is started correctly at all: -
#include "stats.h"
-
-
using namespace test_1;
-
-
-
statistician::statistician()
-
{
-
-
}
-
-
void statistician::next(double r)
-
{
-
-
}
-
-
int statistician::length() const
-
{
-
return 0;
-
}
-
-
double statistician::sum() const
-
{
-
return 0;
-
}
-
-
double statistician::mean() const
-
{
-
return 0;
-
}
-
-
double statistician::minimum() const
-
{
-
return 0;
-
}
-
-
double statistician::maximum() const
-
{
-
return 0;
-
}
-
-
bool operator ==(const statistician& s1, const statistician& s2)
-
{
-
return true;
-
}
-
-
statistician operator + (const statistician & s1, const statistician &
-
s2)
-
{
-
return s1;
-
}
-
-
statistician operator * (double scale, const statistician & s)
-
{
-
return s;
-
}
-

Does anybody know how i can fix that? :(( | | |
the namespace of the testfile is also test_1 and not main_savitch...,
that was a mistake in the posting... | | |
I simply do not understand why these unresolved external symbol errors
occurs..??? :( Does nobody knows here how I can fix these errors?? :(
