Challenge: Implement opEquals Function for a Class
Let’s try a coding challenge using the opEquals function.
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
Start with the following class, which represents colored points:
enum Color { blue, green, red }
class Point {
int x;
int y;
Color color;
this(int x, int y, Color color) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.color = color;
}
}
Input
Implement opEquals
for this class in a way that ignores colors. When implemented in that way, the following writeln
statement should display true
:
// Different colors
auto bluePoint = new Point(1, 2, Color.blue);
auto greenPoint = new Point(1, 2, Color.green);
// They are still equal
writeln(bluePoint == greenPoint);
Output
true
