no match for operator in std operator

Question

I am a C   newbie I tried out my first program here To my eyes this program is correct    include  lt iostream gt   using namespace std   class mystruct       private          int m a          float m b       public          mystruct int x  float y                            m a   x                  m b   y                  int main              mystruct m   mystruct 5 3 14            cout  lt  lt   my structure    lt  lt  m  lt  lt  endl           return 0      However I am getting sooo many errors Can t figure out why   cout cpp  In function    int main       cout cpp 26 29  error  no match

Object is a collection of methods and variables.You can't print the variables in object by just cout operation . if you want to show the things inside the object you have to declare either a getter or a display text method in class.

ex

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class mystruct

{
private:
    int m_a;
    float m_b;

public:
    mystruct(int x, float y)
    {
            m_a = x;
            m_b = y;
    }
    public:
    void getm_aAndm_b()
    {
        cout<<m_a<<endl;
        cout<<m_b<<endl;
    }



};

int main()
{

    mystruct m = mystruct(5,3.14);

    cout << "my structure " << endl;
    m.getm_aAndm_b();
    return 0;

}

Not that this is just a one way of doing it

You need to overload operator  lt  lt  for mystruct class  Something like  -  friend ostream amp  operator  lt  lt   ostream amp  os  const mystruct amp  m        os  lt  lt  m m a  lt  lt      lt  lt  m m b  lt  lt  endl      return os       See here

There s only one error      cout cpp 26 29  error  no match for    operator lt  lt     in    std  operator lt  lt   with  Traits   std  char traits      amp  std  cout     const char   my structure      lt  lt  m      This means that the compiler couldn t find a matching overload for operator lt  lt   The rest of the output is the compiler listing operator lt  lt  overloads that didn t match  The third line actually says this      cout cpp 26 29  note  candidates are

Obviously  the standard library provided operator does not know what to do with your user defined type mystruct  It only works for predefined data types  To be able to use it for your own data type  You need to overload operator  lt  lt  to take your user defined data type

[c++] no match for ‘operator<<’ in ‘std::operator
