Return class(a) pointer in another class(b) function

[phoenix1990]

So i've been working on a program in c++ that uses classes, and i am having a few problems with returning a class value from another class's function.

So i have a class called X, which is essentially a class that defines a linked list, and has some of the basic operations. In that class i have a '[]' operator that is overloaded with each value in the linked list. The operator can also override values in the linked list using

*classxvariable[i] = "string";

the function for that is

std::string* X::operator[](long index)

I also have another class called Y which calls upon class X for it's operator function

X* Y::operator[](long index)

Class Y is also a linked list

the problem is for

X* Y::operator[](long index){}

i'm not sure how to go about getting the function to return X*
from the class Y

Thanks,
