Re: [Audyssey] bgt operator overloading question
Hi,
I don't really like to do code handouts. It isn't conducive to good
learning. Still, I'm vaguely interested in this since I myself have
not ever sorted strings alphabetically, so I will write something up
here.
This implementation may have errors. I tested it on six items with
various first letters and it worked great, but I may have not
accounted for some edge cases, who knows.
Here is the opCmp method you should use.
int opCmp(players_items@ other)
{
// Lowercase both strings so that uppercase lettered items do not
appear before lowercased ones.
string other_name=string_to_lower_case(other.name);
string original_name=string_to_lower_case(name);
// Now simply do comparisons as we would do on ints. Keep in mind this
deceptively simple action will take much longer than integer
comparison.
if(original_name>other_name)
return 1;

Re: [Audyssey] bgt operator overloading question
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the reply that makes sense. Sorry to be a pain I'm still not 100%
sure though how I'd add that into my code so that I could get opCmp to
sort the array of class's alphabetically by name. could I ask for an
example using the below script how you'd add that in there to sort the
array?
class players_items
{
string name;
players_items(string name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
players_items@[] inventory;
many thanks

opCmp wants you to return a positive number if the source object is
greater than the parameter passed, 0 if they are equal, and -1 if the
source object is less than the parameter.
You can use the less than and greater than operator on strings, so the
rest should be obvious. One not so obvious complication is that this
sort technique is case sensative, so make sure to unify the case by
either uppercasing or lowercasing all characters.
