I have a class (String) that I want to be able to implicitly convert to a char. How would I go about doing this? I know to do it the other way around, I just add a constructor that just takes a char as a parameter, but to convert from String to char implicitly? Thanks.

So you have your home-made String class and want it to implicitly convert to C-string(a zero-terminated character array).
You would have to overload the operator char*()

And always search the web before posting.

Actually, I just wanted to convert it to char (as in, a single character).
And, I did search, I just was obviously not using the right terms, IE conversion operator.
Thanks for your help!
