I am practically done with this project but got stumped in one area
I am trying to use operator overloading and multiplying 2 to the complex number.
Since I used operator* already, how do I call the operator with 2* complex no?
How do I write the code for it? Just one tiny issue. Others are compiling fine.

#include<iostream>
#include "complex0.h"
using namespace std;


ostream& operator<<(ostream& osObject, const complex0& complex)
{
	osObject<< "(";               //output left parenthesis
	osObject<< complex.realPart;  //output real part
	osObject<< ", ";   //output comma and space
	osObject<<complex.imaginaryPart;  //output imaginary part
	osObject<< "i)";   //output right parenthesis and i 
	return osObject;  //return ostream object
}
istream& operator>>(istream& isObject, complex0& complex)
{
//	char ch;
	//isObject >> ch;   //read and discard left parenthesis
	cout << "real: ";
	isObject >> complex.realPart; // read and store real part
	

	cout << "imaginary: ";
	isObject >> complex.imaginaryPart;  //read and store imaginary part
	//isObject >> ch;
	return isObject;  // return istream object
}


//constructor
complex0::complex0(double real, double imag)
{
	realPart = real;
	imaginaryPart = imag;
}
void complex0::setComplex(const double& real, const double& imag)
{
	realPart = real;
	imaginaryPart = imag;
}
//overload operator +
complex0 complex0::operator+ (const complex0& otherComplex) const
{
	complex0 temp;
	temp.realPart = realPart + otherComplex.realPart;
	temp.imaginaryPart = imaginaryPart + otherComplex.imaginaryPart;
	return temp;
}
//overload operator -
complex0 complex0::operator- (const complex0& otherComplex) const
{
	complex0 temp;
	temp.realPart = realPart - otherComplex.realPart;
	temp.imaginaryPart = imaginaryPart - otherComplex.imaginaryPart;
	return temp;
}
//overload operator*
complex0 complex0::operator* (const complex0& otherComplex) const
{
	complex0 temp;
	temp.realPart = (realPart * otherComplex.realPart) - (imaginaryPart * otherComplex.imaginaryPart);
	temp.imaginaryPart = (realPart * otherComplex.imaginaryPart)
		+ (imaginaryPart * otherComplex.realPart);
	return temp;
}
//overload operator~
complex0 complex0::operator~ ()
{
	complex0 temp;
	temp.realPart = (realPart);
	temp.imaginaryPart =  -(imaginaryPart);
	return temp;
}
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "complex0.h"

int main()
{
 complex0 num1(3.0, 4.0); //INITIALIZE to (3, 4i)
 complex0 real;
 complex0 imaginary;
  complex0 c;
  cout << "Enter a complex number in form (a, b)(q to quit):\n";
  cin >> real;
  cout << endl;


  
cout << "c is " << real  << " " << endl;
  
   cout << "a is " << num1 << '\n';
   cout << "Complex conjugate is " << ~real << endl;


    /*{
   
     // cout << "complex conjugate is  " << ~c << '\n';
      cout << "a is " << a <<'\n';
      cout  << "a + c is  " << a + c << '\n';
      cout << "a - c is " << a - c << '\n';
      cout << "a * c is " << a * c << '\n';
     // cout << "2 * c is " << 2 * c << '\n';
      cout << "Enter a complex number (q to quit);\n";
    }
    cout << "Done!\n"; */
    return 0;
}

Hi,
Why dont use friend function for overloading *
Syntax

friend complex0 operator*(int, complex0&);
 friend complex0 operator*(complex0&, int);

Just learning C++.
I know we use that friend in inheritance

so, how do I code this;
friend complex0 operator*(int, complex0&)
{
num3 = 2 * realPart;
num3 = imaginaryPart * 2;
}
How do i call it at main?

//overload operator*
it is similar to overloading << and >>
Just give declaration inside complex0 class as friend. friend complex0 operator* (int no, complex0& com); 

complex0 operator* (int no, complex0& com)
{
	complex0 temp;
	temp.realPart = no*com.realPart;
	temp.imaginaryPart =  no*com.imaginaryPart;
	return temp;
}

I got the issue resolved using friend function
Here's the code:
Under .h file header
friend complex0 square(const complex0 x);

Then under cpp file
complex0 square(const complex0& x)
{
double realPart, imaginaryPart;
complex0 sq;
sq.realPart = realPart * 2;
sq.imaginaryPart = 2.0 * realPart * imaginaryPart;
return sq;
}

selvagonopathy's code does not work. I tried that before coming into the forum. The friend function idea was good, but I did not know how to code. After bugging quite a few programmers, managed to get the right code. Thanks for your inputs!
