Thread: [Dev-C++] function not visible in class browser

My class is as follows.
-----------------------------------
class complex{
       private:
               double real, imag;
       public:
              complex ();
              complex (double r, double i);
              complex (const complex& a);
              void in (double r, double i);
              void in (complex& a);
              friend istream& operator>> (istream& s, 
complex& c);
              friend ostream& operator<< (ostream& s, 
complex& c);
              complex operator+ (complex& a);
              complex operator- (complex& a);
              complex operator* (complex& a);
              friend complex operator* (double a, complex& b);
              complex operator/ (complex& a);
              complex operator~ ();
              complex operator^ (int b);
              double get_real();
              double get_imag();
              double mod();
              double arg();
              };
--------------------------------
I've used 3 friend functions. The istream and ostream 
functions are visible in the class browser but the "friend 
complex operator* (double a, complex& b)" function is not 
visible. It works perfectly but experience has shown that if 
its not seen in the browser, there's something wrong 
somewhere. The implementation of this function is as follows.
----------------------------------
complex operator* (double a, complex& b)
{
      complex temp;
      temp.real=a*b.real;
      temp.imag=a*b.imag;
      return temp;
}
-------------------------------------

Any faults that I've missed?
TIA.

Regarding my earlier mail, prototyping the function solved 
the problem. But then, why was is not necessary to prototype 
the overloaded >> and << operators? They were friend 
functions too.
