Override [] operator for a class

[poomrang]

Hi, I have a Basket class, containing Apple objects, stored in an Basket.
A Apple object is described by coordinates x, y.
I'm trying to override the [] operator, but it's not working:
Basket2[0] = Apple1; // Not working: no operator "=" matches this operand, operand types are Basket = Apple

class Basket
    {
    private:
    	Apple* m_data;
    	int m_size;
    
    public: 
    	Basket(); //default Constructor
    	Basket(int size); //argument constructor 
    	Basket(const Basket &Basket); //copy constructor
    	~Basket(); //destructor
    
    	Basket& operator = (const Basket& source); // Assignment operator
    	Apple& operator[](int index); //class indexer for writing
    	const Apple& operator[] (int index) const; //class indexer for reading
    
    	//Getter function
    	int Size() const; //returns size 
    
    	//Get element by index
    	Apple& GetElement(int i);
    
    	void SetElement(const int index, const Apple& element); //set element of Basket to a new Apple
    
    	void Print(string msg);
    };
    
    //class indexer
    Apple& Basket::operator [] (int index)
    {
    	return (index > m_size - 1) ? m_data[0] : m_data[index];
    }
    
    
    const Apple& Basket::operator [] (int index) const
    {
    	return (index > m_size - 1) ? m_data[0] : m_data[index];
    }
    
    int main()
    {
      //instantiate a Basket of two elements size
    	Basket* Basket1 = new Basket(2);
    	Apple Apple0(0, 0); //instantiate a Apple with coordinates x, y
    	Apple Apple1(1, 1);	
    	Basket1->SetElement(0, Apple0); //set the first element of Basket1 to Apple0
    	Basket1->SetElement(1, Apple1);
    	Basket* Basket2 = new Basket(2);
    	Apple Apple2(2, 2); //instantiate a Apple with coordinates x, y
    	Apple Apple3(3, 3);
    	Basket2->SetElement(0, Apple2); //set the first element of Basket1 to Apple2
    	Basket2->SetElement(1, Apple3);
    	Basket2[0] = Apple1;  // Not working: no operator "=" matches this operand, operand types are Basket = Apple
      return 0;
    }

The problem is that array1 and array2 are pointers, not Array objects.
You don't need to create your Array object itself with new, that's the beauty of RAII.

Just do:

Array array2(2);
// ...
array2.SetElement(0, point2);
array2.SetElement(1, point3);

array2[0] = point1;

Yes, but if I want to use objects on the heap ?

Dereference your Array* to obtain an Array.
(*array2)[0] = point1;
