I'm having problems with my friend function within my template class. For some reason it doesn't like the fact that I'm trying to use a variable that is type T in an operator overloading friend function.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
template <typename T>
class LL
{
struct Node
{
T mData;
Node *mNext;
Node();
Node(T data);
};
private:
Node *mHead, *mTail;
int mCount;
public:
LL();
~LL();
bool insert(T data);
bool isExist(T data);
bool remove(T data);
void showLinkedList();
void clear();
int getCount() const;
bool isEmpty();
friend std::ofstream& operator<<(std::ofstream& output, const LL& obj)
{
Node* tmp;
if (obj.mHead != NULL)
{
tmp = obj.mHead;
while (tmp != NULL)
{
output << tmp->mData << std::endl; // "tmp->mData is causing the error
tmp = tmp->mNext;
}
}
return output;
}
};
This is a linked list class, and I need the friend function operator overload to basically allow me to output any particular list of objects onto a text file. I hope someone can help me out.
