toString() method?

[oontvoo]

IS there any possible way to make the << ( insertion operator) to work with an instance of my class?

I mean, suppose i have a class like this:

class Foo
{
     int x;
public:
       Foo ( int x ): x(x) {}
};

and I wanna overload the << operator so that when I write

int main()
{
Foo myFoo(3);

cout << myFoo << endl;

return 0;
}

I'd get

3

as the output.

Yes, overload the << operator with this signature:

std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream& str, const Foo& f);
