[ale] [OT] C++ Question

[Jonathan Glass]

money3.showmoney(); returns garbage.  It's like I am not either (a)
initializing the variable correctly (this possibility has been
eliminated via liberal cout's), or (b) not returning the correct
variable (maybe I need a pointer?).  I have another statement (AddMoney)
which works fine...just this operator overload doesn't work.

Here's my test code:
CMoney CMoney::operator+ ( CMoney& t)
{
  // money3 = money1 + money2
  CMoney temp;
  temp.showmoney();
  this->showmoney();
  t.showmoney();
  temp.m_cents= this->m_cents + t.m_cents;
  temp.showmoney();
  this->showmoney();
  t.showmoney();
  return (temp);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  CMoney money1;
  money1.AddMoney(0,101);
  CMoney money2;
  money2.AddMoney(0,100);
  CMoney money3;
  money3.ShowMoney();
  money3=money1+money2;
  cout << "MONEY1: ";
  money1.ShowMoney();
  cout << endl << "MONEY2: ";
  money2.ShowMoney();
  cout << endl;
  cout << "MONEY3: ";
  money3.ShowMoney();
  return 0;
}

And I get the following for output
0 dollars	0 cents
0 dollars	0 cents
1 dollars	1 cents
1 dollars	0 cents
0 dollars	1 cents
1 dollars	1 cents
1 dollars	0 cents
MONEY1:0 dollars	0 cents
MONEY2:0 dollars	0 cents
MONEY3:-8589933 dollars	-858993300

ARGH!!  

Thanks again

Jonathan
