<operator

Hello!
Doing a old exam atm,one of the tasks is to create a template function that does compare two flower objects by color/name.
if the name/color is equal then objects are equal.

heres what i have written so far:

overloading the operator:

bool Flower::operator <(const Flower&otherFlower)const
{
	return this->name<otherFlower.name&& this->color<otherFlower.color;
	
}

the temlate function:

T equal<T Flower,T otherFlower>
{
	if(Flower==otherFlower)
	{
		cout<<"YES!"<<endl;
	}
	else
	cout<<"No"<<endl;

}

the temlate function make my compiler go crazy,dont know what i´m doing wrong..
Any help is appreciated

You overload operator<, yet you attempt to use operator== in the function.

Also, the equal<T> function works with absolutely any type that defines operator==. You should use op1 and op2 as parameter names.

And if that's your declaration of a template function, then you got it all wrong. See http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/templates/.
