Re: overloaded ops << and >>

[jalkadir]

Thank you Thomas for your help.
Here is the latest incarnation of my inserters and extractors:

friend std::ostream& operator<<( std::ostream&, const jme::Money& );
friend std::istream& operator>>( std::istream&, jme::Money

& );

std::ostream&
operator<<( std::ostream& os, const jme::Money& obj ) {
std::cout << "Check this out" << std::endl;

return os << obj.getAmount();
    //return os;
}
std::istream&
operator>>( std::istream& is, jme
::Money& obj

 ) {
    float tmp;
    is >> tmp;
    obj.setAmount(tmp);
    return is;

}

I would expect that the statement

jme::Money money("12.21");
std::cout  << " Value is: " << money << std::endl;

would display

Check this out
12.21

But in instead it displays 0x4c1094 !?
I don't even think my overloaded operators are beeing called when
extracting or inserting data.
I am really going *loco* with this part of the program. It just does
not make sence.

Can you help?
