Question

I have a class Date that I defined that models a date, it has a day,month and a year as data members. Now to compare the dates I created the equality operator

bool Date::operator==(const Date&rhs)
{
    return (rhs.day()==_day && _month==rhs.month() &&_year==rhs.year());
}

Now how do I call the Date class equality operator from the Proxy class…??

This is the edited part of the question

This is the Date Class

//Main Date Class
enum Month 
{
    January = 1, 
    February,
    March, 
    April,
    May,
    June,
    July, 
    August, 
    September,
    October,
    November, 
    December
};
class Date
{
public: 

    //Default Constructor
    Date();
    // return the day of the month
    int day() const
    {return _day;}
    // return the month of the year
    Month month() const
    {return static_cast<Month>(_month);}
    // return the year
    int year() const
    {return _year;}

    bool Date::operator==(const Date&rhs)
    {
    return (rhs.day()==_day && _month==rhs.month() &&_year==rhs.year());
    }

    ~Date();

private:
    int _day;
    int _month;
    int _year;

}

//--END OF DATE main class

This is the proxy class that I will substitute for the Date class

//--Proxy Class for Date Class
class DateProxy
{
public: 

    //Default Constructor
    DateProxy():_datePtr(new Date)
    {}
    // return the day of the month
    int day() const
    {return _datePtr->day();}
    // return the month of the year
    Month month() const
    {return static_cast<Month>(_datePtr->month());}
    // return the year
    int year() const
    {return _datePtr->year();}

    bool DateProxy::operator==(DateProxy&rhs)
    {
        //what do I return here??
    }

    ~DateProxy();

private:
    scoped_ptr<Date> _datePtr;

}

//--End of Proxy Class(for Date Class)

Now the problem that I am having is implementing the equality operator function in the proxy class, I hope this clarifies the question.

Answer 1

return *_datePtr == *_rhs.datePtr;
