Question

I have created a class called “ShortestTime”. I have some functions within it that are not member functions, but I would like them to be able to access my member variables.
ie. I have a function that sorts a List that is a public member variable, but it doesn’t have access to this member variable.

I have read something about “friend” but was unable to get this to work. How do I solve my problem?

Thanks for the help,

Robin

Answer 1

There are ways you could use friend to solve your problem but we would need to see sample code.

But my personal approach would be to add a function to ShortestTime that sorts your private member.

ShortestTime::SortInterals()
{
   //sort private stuff
}

Is there a reason that won’t work?
