redirecting an operator to a property!

[FranciscoDias]

Hi to all, I'm trying to redirect the [] from a class to a property of that class

Class Myclass
{
bool myBool;
string myString;
map<int,string> myMap;
}


I wanted to do somethin like:

Myclass a;
a[0] = "hello world"

and it actually would set myMap[0] to hello world".

and
cout << a[0]

to print "hello world";

Possible??
Thank you in advance!

Yes, just overload the [] operator:

class Myclass
{
  //...

  string& operator [] (int index)
  {
    return myMap[index];
  }

  //...
};
