Question

Hi, could some one please help me to check and see if I did this snippet of code correctly? And according to these instructions?

1. Function definition for the Overloaded operator >> for cin
   1. Signature: friend istream &operator>>(istream &in, Complex &c)
   2. Reads in a double, then another double, then a character (for 'i').
   3. You are essentially reading in 3 things, but only 2 of those things (the first and second) will get stored in the real and imaginary data members. The third thing to read in is to get rid of the 'i' from the input stream

THIS IS WHAT I WROTE (MY SNIPPET FOR THIS). Will it do what the instructions ask?

class Complex{

public:

/* other code here, but not including for brevity - it all works fine */

friend istream &operator>>(istream &in, Complex &c){
     char imagI = 'i';
     input>>c.real>>c.imaginary>>imagI;
return input;
  }
  

private:

double real;  
double imaginary;   

};

Answer 1

class Complex{
public:
/* other code here, but not including for brevity - it all works fine */

    friend istream &operator>>(istream &in, Complex &c){
        char imagI = 'i';
        in>>c.real>>c.imaginary>>imagI;
        return in; // use in instead of input here..
    }
private:
    double real;  
    double imaginary;   
};
