Accessing member function from list

[Toothkiller]

ok heres what I'm trying to do, first I make a class

class Name
{
//stuff
     memberfunction () {return something;}
//more stuff
};

then I add newly created objects to a list

list<Name> = listofnames;
Name bob,shirely;
listofnames.push_back(bob);
listofnames.push_back(shirely);

now I want to walk through the list and get something from each object from the list and I am not sure where to start on that.

Start at the beginning and when you come to the end, stop.

my list is in namespace functions and is named currentfunctions and I get the error


error: no match for 'operator=' in 'it = Functions::currentfunctions.std::list<_Tp, _Alloc>::begin [with _Tp = Function, _Alloc = std::allocator<Function>]'|

heres the code:

the class

class Function{
    std::wstring name, function, units;
    public:
    Function(std::wstring,std::wstring,std::wstring);
    std::wstring getname(){ return name;}
    std::wstring getfunction(){ return function;}
    std::wstring getunits(){ return units;}
    Function operator = (Function);
};

Function::Function(std::wstring newname, std::wstring newfunction, std::wstring newunits){
    name = newname;
    function=newfunction;
    units=newunits;
}
Function Function::operator=(Function param){
    Function temp(param.getname(),param.getfunction(),param.getunits());
    return temp;
}

the list:

namespace Functions{
list<Function> currentfunctions;
}

the walkthrough:

list<Function>::iterator it;
for (it=Functions::currentfunctions.begin;it!=Functions::currentfunctions.size();it++){
       wcout << it.name << it.function <<endl;
}

You forgot the parenthesis. begin()
Also you can't compare an iterator against an integer it!=Functions::currentfunctions.size()

wcout << it->name << it->function <<endl; //you'll need to dereference the iterator But that members are private

It worked thank you ne555
