    Hi folks,
    I am learning operator overloading concept in c++, wrote sample program to test overloading of unary operator '!' and '-'.
    Code will work if i use them as friend function but not for member function. Can anybody tell where am i going wrong in function bool operator!(const co_ordi &a) and co_ordi operator-(const co_ordi &x); . Is that correct way to declare and define.

    I am getting following error
    Error:
    op_ovld_unary.cc:18: error: ‘bool co_ordi::eek:perator!(const co_ordi&)’ must take ‘void’
    op_ovld_unary.cc: In function ‘int main()’:
    op_ovld_unary.cc:45: error: no match for ‘operator!’ in ‘!a’
    op_ovld_unary.cc:45: note: candidates are: operator!(bool) <built-in>
    op_ovld_unary.cc:50: error: no match for ‘operator-’ in ‘-b’
    op_ovld_unary.cc:22: note: candidates are: co_ordi co_ordi::eek:perator-(const co_ordi&)

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    class co_ordi
    {
    	int cx,cy,cz;
    	public:
    	co_ordi(int x=0,int y=0,int z=0):cx(x),cy(y),cz(z)
    	{
    		cout<<"in c_tor="<<cx<<cy<<cz<<endl;
    	}
    	void get_coordi()
    	{
    		cout<<"x="<<cx<<"y="<<cy<<"z="<<cz<<endl;
    	}
     // friend co_ordi operator- (const co_ordi &a);
     // friend bool operator! (const co_ordi &a);
     bool operator!(const co_ordi &a)
    	{
    		return (a.cx == 0 && a.cy == 0 && cz==0);
    	}
    	co_ordi operator-(const co_ordi &x)
    	{
    		co_ordi k(-x.cx,-x.cy,-x.cz);
    		return k;
    	}
    		     
    };
    /**co_ordi operator- (const co_ordi &x)
    {
    	cout<<"me minus"<<endl;
    	return co_ordi(-x.cx,-x.cy,-x.cz);
    }
    bool operator! (const co_ordi &a)
    {
    
    	return (a.cx == 0 && a.cy == 0 && a.cz == 0);
    }**/
    
    
    int main()
    {
    	co_ordi a,b(4,5,6);
    
    	if(!a)
    	cout<<"a at origin"<<endl;
    	else
    		cout<<"a not at origin"<<endl;
    	b.get_coordi();
        b =	-b;
        b.get_coordi();
    	return 0;
    }
