Operator >> overload with struct?

Question

Is there any way this is possible?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct test{
  int n;
};
int main(){
  test t1;
  cin >> t1;
  return 0;
}

For all I know, it is not possible, but I had an exam yesterday and that question came in it, it asked me to write the functions missing.

I duped for http://stackoverflow.com/a/4421719/962089. Input/Output is right near the top. — chris, Jul 11 '12 at 01:55

In C++, structs are the same as classes. So yes, you can do the same thing as you do with classes.

Add the include:

#include <stdlib.h>

You should include both namespaces: using namespace System; // ie System::Console using namespace std;

You'll need to use:

std::cin >> t1.n;

a) The OP was supposed to write missing functions. It's very possible to overload `operator>>` to do that. b) `using namespace System;`? This is C++... Other than that, `` is preferred over `<*.h>`, and `using namespace std;` is a bit overrated. – chris Jul 11 '12 at 02:12
