help overloading [] 1

[iggyentity]

When i overload the operator [] for a vector is there any better way of using it inside the class definition itself ie.

Class Dataset
......

int& operator[](int x){
return vector[x];
}

bool compare(int position, int variable){
return operator[](position)==variable // is there any
//better way than
// this
}

Iggy,

I assume that you are trying to compare the position-th value in the vector with the content of variable. First off, where is the vector that you are trying to subscript?



Class Dataset
{
...

int& operator[](int x)
{ return vector[x]; }

bool compare(int position, int variable)
{ return (*this)[position]==variable; }
...
}
