# Making Types Printable
Catch is capable of using user defined print functions and overloads.
## Using ostreams
By default, catch will attempt to display types using an ostream overload is available.
```c++
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, MySpecialType const&);
```
## using toString
If you don't want your type to work with ostreams, or Catch is unable to find the
overload you provide, you may alternatively overload `Catch::toString`. The overload
must appear **above** the include of `catch.hpp`. For example, if I want to provide
a print functionality for `std::pair<int, char>` in my test, the top of my test file
would look like this:
```c++
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <utility>
namespace Catch {
std::string toString(std::pair<int, char> const p) {
std::ostringstream oss;
oss << '{' << p.first << ", " << p.second << '}';
return oss.str();
}
}
#include "catch.hpp"
```
Note that the former approach is preferred, and the latter is more error-prone
due to possible typos when typing `Catch` or `toString`
## Default output
If neither of the two conditions has been met, catch will output `{?}` by default.
