Questions and Answers

Explain the concept of operator overloading in C++ with an example.

Operator overloading in C++ is the ability to give special meaning to an existing operator for a specific data type. For example, overloading the '+' operator in a String class to concatenate two strings.

What are the criteria/rules to define the operator function in C++ for non-static member functions?

For non-static member functions, a binary operator should have only one argument and a unary operator should not have an argument.

What are the criteria/rules to define the operator function in C++ for friend functions?

For friend functions, a binary operator should have only two arguments and a unary operator should have only one argument.

Study Notes

Operator Overloading in C++

  • Operator overloading allows operators to be redefined for a specific class, enabling the use of operators on objects of that class.
  • Example: Defining the + operator to add two complex numbers represented by a class.

Criteria for Non-Static Member Functions

  • The operator function must be a non-static member function.
  • The operator function takes one operand implicitly, which is the object of the class itself.
  • The operator function can take zero or more operands explicitly.

Criteria for Friend Functions

  • The operator function must be a friend function.
  • The operator function takes all operands explicitly, including the object of the class.
  • The operator function can be defined inside or outside the class.

Access Specifiers for Operator Overloading

  • Not necessarily true; access specifiers (public, private, protected) can be used to control access to member objects.
  • However, for operator overloading to work, the overloaded operator must be accessible, so it's common to make it public.

Operators That Cannot Be Overloaded

  • sizeof operator
  • . operator
  • .* operator
  • ::| operator
  • # operator
  • ## operator
