  11. Hi..
  12.  
  13. I'm currently stuck on how to overload [] operator such that
  14. it does two different tasks..
  15.  
  16.  
  17. case 1:
  18.  
  19. // A is an instance of a class that contains a linkist.
  20.  
  21.    A[5] = val;  // store val into the fifth node of a linklist. 
  22.    val = A[5] ; // returns the value of the fifth node of a linklist.  
  23.  
  24.  
  25. I was wondering how can C++ differentiate these two senerios? 
  26.  
  27. Anything help will greatly appreciated..
  28.  
  29. Thank You Kindly
