    Error: No Operator << Matches These Operands

        // provide some querying values (some can be default (e.g., "", 0) to denote unset criteria)

        //show(max_price(inv));
       // const double epsil{ 0.005 };

        return 0;
    }
    error is this line
    Code:
        cout << "The highest priced Car is: " << max_price(inv) << endl;

    It looks like your main() has no idea what max_price() is.

    Well you can call it but
    Code:
     cout::Operator << ()
    seems to have no idea how to use the type/value that is returned by this function.

    Re: Error: No Operator << Matches These Operands

    You haven't provided a compilable example. Are the 2 sets of code in different compilation units? if yes, is max_price() declared in a header file used by the compilation unit that has main() ?

    max_price returns a Car. Shouldn't it return an amount?
