C++ class的一些习俗--提供print(ostream &out)成员函数

C++实现新的class有一些习俗，比如会提供一个 print(ostream & out)的公开的成员函数，例子如下

class Employee {
 public:
    void print(ostream& out) const {
      out << name << salary << endl;
    }
 private:
    string name;
    double salary;
};

// Define an output operator for
// Employee
ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const Employee& rhs) {
  rhs.print(out);
  return out;
}

int main() {
  Employee person;
  cout << person << endl;
}
