    Okay what i want to do is:
    Code the implementation of a Person class (2 person object are equal if they have the same name)
    (b) Code the implementation of a Worker class
    (c) The program must read in the name, age and workplace (comma delimited) from the console in to a Worker object and store in a vector.
    What i have done so far is:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Person
    {
    public:
    	string n;
    public:
    	Person(string n)
    	{
    		this->n = n;
    	}
    	bool operator==(const Person& obj) const;
    	Person();
    
    };
    bool Person::operator ==(const Person& obj) const
    {
    	if(obj.n != this->n)
    	{
    		return false;
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		return true;
    	}
    }
    class Worker
    {
    public:
    	void setInfo(string, int, string);
    	void getInfo(string&, int&, string&) const;
    	Worker(string, int, string);
    	Worker();
    
    private:
    	string name;
    	int age;
    	string workPlace;
    };
    I am completely lost on part b and c i dont know what to do. ANy help gr app. Thanks

    Can you point as to where you are stuck because its very difficult to go through the entire code.

    Well i got most of everything working with a little work. Like this:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <vector>
    #include <fstream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class Person
    {
    protected: string o_name;
    
    public:
    	Person(string name)
    	{
    		this->o_name = name;
    	}
    	bool operator==(const Person& obj) const;
    	bool operator!=(const Person& obj) const;
    };
    
    bool Person::operator ==(const Person& obj) const
    {
    	return (obj.o_name == this->o_name);
    }
    bool Person::operator !=(const Person &obj) const
    {
    	return (obj.o_name != this->o_name);
    }
    
    
    class Worker: public Person
    {
    friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const Worker &); 
    friend istream& operator>>(istream&, Worker &); 
    
    private:
    	string workPlace;
    	int age;
    public:
    	Worker(string name, string w_wP, int w_a): Person(name)
    	{
    		workPlace = w_wP;
    		age = w_a;
    	}
    	string getName() const;
    	string getWorkPlace() const;
    	int getAge() const;
    	void print() const;
    };
    string Worker::getName() const
    {
    	return o_name;
    }
    string Worker::getWorkPlace() const
    {
    	return workPlace;
    }
    int Worker::getAge() const
    {
    	return age;
    }
    void Worker::print() const
    {
    	cout << "Name = " << o_name
    		<< "; WorkPlace = " << workPlace
    		<< "; Age = " << age;
    }
    ostream& operator<<(ostream& osObject, const Worker& worker) 
    { 
       osObject <<"Name = " << worker.o_name << "; Work Place = " << worker.workPlace << "; Age = " << worker.age; 
       return osObject; 
    } 
    istream& operator>>(istream& isObject, Worker& worker) 
    { 
       isObject >> worker.o_name >> worker.workPlace >> worker.age; 
       return isObject; 
    } 
    
    
    int main()
    {
    	string text = "", text1 = "";
    	int count = 0;
    
    	ifstream in;
    	ofstream out;
    
    	in.open("one.txt");
    	out.open("two.txt");
    	
    
    	string w_name, w_name2;
    	string w_workPlace, w_workPlace2;
    	int w_age, w_age2;
    	char ch;
    
    	cout << "Enter name, work place and age, comma seperated : ";
    	getline(cin, w_name, ',');
    	getline(cin, w_workPlace, ',');
    	cin >> w_age;
    
    	cin.get(ch);
    
    	cout << "Enter name, work place and age, comma seperated : ";
    	getline(cin, w_name2, ',');
    	getline(cin, w_workPlace2, ',');
    	cin >> w_age2;
    
    	cin.get(ch); 
    
    
    	Worker w1(w_name, w_workPlace, w_age);
    	Worker w2(w_name2, w_workPlace2, w_age2);
    
    	if(w1 == w2)
    	{
    		cout << "They have the same name" << endl;
    	}
    	else if(w1 != w2)
    	{
    		cout << "They do not have the same name" << endl;
    	}
    	vector<Worker> w;
    	w.push_back(w1);
    	w.push_back(w2);
    	cout << "Size of vector : " << w.size() << endl;
    	w1.print();
    	cout << endl;
    	cout << w1 << endl;
    	
    	cout << "First element : " << w.front() << endl;
    	cout << "Last element : " << w.back() << endl;
    
    	
    	in.close();
    	out.close();	
    
    	return 0;
    }
    Does anyone know how i can enter stuff from a file (problem being, the stuff in the folder will be comma deliminated) coz i have to store it in a worker object then store in a vector once i have read it in. ANy help gret appre

    ifstream in;
    in.read(buf,Num);
    Where buffer is where the content is read and num is the no of bytes read. So if I am getting you correctly this should read it from the file.

    I probably missed on this post. If you read it using >> operator. Try using getline.

    Why it shouldn't. Here is the sample code
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <fstream.h>
    
    #define N 100
    
    int main()
    {
    	char buf[N];
    
    	ifstream in;
    
    	in.open("a.txt");
    	in.getline(buf,N);
    
    	cout<<buf << endl;
    	
    	return 0;
    }

    no i get that its just i want to use the data to store in an object.
    like :
    "darrel","xWork",34
    Then store darrel xWork and 34 in the object

    After you read it into buf convert it to whatever object you wish.
