Creating Friends

• Class prototype:

  • friend Time operator*(double m, const Time & t);

• Two implications:

  • It is declared in the class, but it is not a member function.
  • It has same access rights as a member function.

• Function definition:

  • Time operator*(double m, const Time & t)
  • { Time result;
  • long totalminutes = .....
  • .....
  • }

• Time:: qualifier isn't used.

• friend keyword isn't used.
