I have a class like this:
class A {
...private functions, variables, etc...
public:
...some public functions and variables...
A operator * (double);
A operator / (double);
A operator * (A);
...and lots of other operators
}
However, I want to also be able to do stuff like 2 * A
instead of only being allowed to do A * 2
, and so I would need functions like these outside of the class:
A operator * (double, A);
A operator / (double, A);
...etc...
Should I put all these operators outside of the class for consistency, or should I keep half inside and half outside?
