Operator overloading

ZedjayCoder (24)
Hi, I'm getting this from Visual Studios 2010
error C2582: 'operator =' function is unavailable in 'ArrayList<TYPE>'

Basically, I want to create a new object called Restaurant and store it in an array that is being managed by the class RArrayList.

In my restaurant class header file.

}

public:

	~Restaurant();

In main. That equals sign gets underlined with a red squiggle.
 
 
 restaurant[restaurant->getCount()] = new Restaurant;

Without knowing the definition of restaurant, we can't possibly know what's going on.

Is there any particular reason you decided not to show us the information that would actually help us help you?

No reason at all. Sorry about that.

I was talking about restaurant, the variable in that line from main that you showed us. How have you defined it? We can't know why you're getting the error if we don't know what types the variables are.

I think I've answered your question now.

ArrayList<Restaurant*> restaurant(MAX)
