I am working on an assignment that basically requires a class INT that operates similar to the int standard class... Below is my code. All seems to be working, with the exception of handling this line:

INT x,y = 6;

should assign 6 to x and y. Assigns only to y. A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

t basically requires a class INT that operates similar to the int standard class...

If that is what you want, You are getting the right thing.

And where as this is considered.

INT x,y=6;

try the standard C++ int type

int x,y=6;

The value of x will not be equal to 6.

Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response.
