I'm having trouble with this question for C++:

Two stacks of the same type are the same if they have the same number of elements and their elements at the corresponding positions are the same. Overload the relational operator == for the class stackType that returns true if two stacks of the same type are the same; it returns false otherwise. Also, write the definition of the function template to overload this operator.

It requires the use of a main function (main.cpp) and two header files (myStack.h and stackADT.h) and I can not seem to figure out how to solve this problem. Thank you in advance.

================

main.cpp template

#include #include "myStack.h"

using namespace std; int main() { stackType stack1(50); stackType stack2(50);

stack1.initializeStack(); stack1.push(23); stack1.push(45); stack1.push(38);

stack2 = stack1;

if (stack1 == stack2) cout << "stack1 and stack2 are identical" << endl; else cout << "stack1 and stack2 are not identical" << endl;

stack2.pop(); stack2.push(32);

cout << "**** After pop and push operations on stack2 ****" << endl; if (stack1 == stack2) cout << "stack1 and stack2 are identical" << endl; else cout << "stack1 and stack2 are not identical" << endl;

stack2.push(11);

cout << "**** After another push operation on stack2 ****" << endl; if (stack1 == stack2) cout << "stack1 and stack2 are identical" << endl; else cout << "stack1 and stack2 are not identical" << endl; return 0; }
