functions

[SotonStu]

if i have two objects,in this case cards, each storing a short value that can be accessed by a getvalue() method and i want to apply an int beat(cards c) function to them to see which has a higher value, how do i access the card i want to compare the parameter against. eg:

cards c1 = deck[15]; //Getting a card from an array of consturcted cards
cards c2 = deck[38];
if(c1.beats(c2)) cout << &quot;BEATS&quot;;

I know how i can get at c2 but don't know how i can get the value of c1.

Thanks again

Since the beats() function is a member function of the class it will have access to the member variables of the c1 object (instance).

class cards{
public:
  int value;
  bool beats( const cards& otherCard){
    return value > otherCard.value;
  }
.... rest of class
}
