How to implement istream& operator

daveed (17)
From this code, I am pretty sure I am supposed to create an array of books with the istream& operator method. However, I am not sure how to do this.

I just need help on the istream operator >> method, not the whole program.

I attached my Book.cpp program under the Warehouse.h header file just in case you might need it (Book.cpp is also part of the project)

Hello daveed,

This is similar to http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/251553/

Posting the same basic code and asking a similar question does not get any quicker help.

Here you post "Warehoude.h" and "Book.cpp". Since neither file goes with the other I am not sure what you expect.

Post the "Warehouse.cpp" and "Book.h" files so that everything makes sence and is put in proper context. The file with "main" would also be helpful.

Lastly pick one subject or the other. Do not split everyone's time between the two.

Hope that helps,

Andy
