 cout << mcsalad.getname() << " " << mcsalad.getage() << " " << mcsalad.getID() << endl;
 
  cout << johnmcsalad.getname() << " " << johnmcsalad.getage() << " " << johnmcsalad.getID() << endl;


is there an easier way to get values rather then writing them out indivudally to rerievte them from the private variables?

the code below is and yes i come up with stupid names when im bored

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class luckyjohn{
private:
  string john;
  int age;
  double ID;
  
public:
  //constructor call
  luckyjohn(){
    john = "John Mcsalad";
    age = 21;
    ID = 004;
  }
   //constructor call
  luckyjohn(string x, int xx, double II){
    john = x;
    age = xx;
    ID = II;}
   
  
  string getname(){
    return john;}
    
    int getage(){
      return age;}
      
      double getID(){
	return ID;}
  
   
};

int main()
{
 luckyjohn mcsalad;
 luckyjohn johnmcsalad("John Nelson", 21, 557);
 
 cout << mcsalad.getname() << " " << mcsalad.getage() << " " << mcsalad.getID() << endl;
 
  cout << johnmcsalad.getname() << " " << johnmcsalad.getage() << " " << johnmcsalad.getID() << endl;

 
}
Yes. Overload operator>>.

ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const luckyjohn& lj) { // Second parameter doesn't have to be const, I just like having everything accurate.
    os << lj.getname() << ' ' << lj.getage() << ' ' << lj.getID() << endl;
    return os;
}


You might have figured it out yourself already, but I felt like helping.
