operator overloading(in g++)(simple question)

[fsshl]

Dear Deitel or Linux c++ programers:

I tried to do just a) Modify the class to enable input and output
of complex numbers through the overloaded >> and << operator,
respectively (you should remove the print function from the class)
(in book of How to Program C, 3rd ed. pg679, 18.10)

this is my 3 files I modify
---------
plz see attachments
----------------------------
/* and I tried, new y as (88.99,75.48)
* new z as (2.9,9.2)
*/
/************
but my tested result as
************
# g++ complex1.cpp
fig18_05.cpp
# ./a.out
x: (0,0)

y: (4.3,8.2)

z: (3.3,1.1)


x = y + z:
(7.6,9.3)
= (4.3,8.2)
+ (3.3,1.1)


x = y - z:
(1,7.1)
= (4.3,8.2)
- (3.3,1.1)

Now input new y
(88.99,75.48)

Echo
(88.99,75.48)

Now input new z
(2.9,9.2)

Echo
(0,1.1)


This is new x = (88.99,76.58)

#
***********************************************/
the part need your help is why after I input new z, it be Echo by
different complex number?

What happens if you flush cin before you take more input? Other issue, with your output, you may not be seeing the prompts when you think you are. IE, do this

cout << "Now input new y" << endl;

instead of this

cout << "Now input new y\n";

cout is buffered, just like (and is) stdout. With a printf(), you have to flush stdout in a C program. Similarly, you need the endl or flush iomanipulator to make sure the output goes to screen. This is especially important for on-screen prompts before you take input. So, use endl if you want the output flushed with a new line, and flush if you just want the output. Example:

cout << "Input new z: " << flush;

The cursor would be one space after the colon, waiting for input.

Anyway, by flushing cin, do it like this:

cin.clear();

That will get rid of any left-over data in the input buffer.

thanks your fast reply:

first of all:
flush is not defined in main block(compile error, g++4.4.3, UbuntuLinux)

then:
I tried change \n to endl
and
add cin.clear() (before and after cin >> (some complex variables)

it help a little bit
first 2 cin >> (complex variable) work (but second one prabably did not work good)
second 2 cin >> (complex variable) , only one work(second one work)
third 2 cin >> (complex variable) , only one work(second one work)
----------------
cout << "2 time cin to x" << endl;
// int i;
cin >> x;
cin.clear();
cout << endl ;
cout << x << endl;
cin >> x;
cin.clear();
cout << x << endl;
cout << endl ;
cout << "2 times cin to y" << endl;
cin >> y;
cin.clear();
cout << endl ;
cout << y << endl;
cin >> y;
cin.clear();
cout << y << endl;
cout << endl ;
cout << "2 times cin to z" << endl;
cin >> z;
cin.clear();
cout << endl ;
cout << z << endl;
cin >> z;
cin.clear();
cout << z << endl;
cout << endl ;
--------------------
plz help

Well, I'm going to drop back to the standard question when I'm buffaloed: what Linux version+distribution+kernel, and what gcc/g++ version are you compiling with?

[fsshl]

g++ 4.4.3, 2.6.32-30
cin >> (complex variable) is not work good, from second time call it.
but cout << (complex variable) is working good
plz download my attached 3 files, which is most same as Deitel's example, modify/run it
in your linux, g++ system, to see how it work. if you get right one, plz post
thanks a lot in advance, Eric
