I'm having trouble with an ambiguos operator.

[coercedman66]

I declared to overloaded operators, '='. One takes unsigned long, the other takes a double.

Now the problem is the compiler can't tell which function I want to use when passing 0.

example:

long ClassX::operator= (double test)
{
long result=0;
//do testing
return result;
}
long ClassX::operator= (unsigned long test)
{
long result=0;
//do testing
return result;
}

//some code later in main
ClassX xclass;
xclass=0;


This causes Ambigous error, it doens't know if i mean double or unsigned long.
Is there a way to specify which to use as default? or is there another solution?

Pass 0.0 for the double, 0L for the long.

[coercedman66]

It tried to put 0L but it still does not understand. I even tried (unsigned long).

I was able to force it beyond it's limited common sense using (unsigned long).

It should be default that if I put 0.0 i mean double, and 0 for int values.
