function overloading in c++ code example
Example 1: c++ function overload
/*A function over load in c++ is when you take a function with the same definition but change the input variables.
This can include multiple functions with the same name see below
*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int function1(int var1){//example of single variable
//do somthing
}
int function1(int var1,int var2){//of overload
//do somthing
}
int function1(int var1,string var3){//of overload
//do somthing
}
int main(){
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
function1(4);
function1(3,-90);
function1(34,"it works");//these should all work even tho they have different input variables
return 0;
}
Example 2: what is operator overloading in c++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Box {
public:
double getVolume(void) {
return length * breadth * height;
}
void setLength( double len ) {
length = len;
}
void setBreadth( double bre ) {
breadth = bre;
}
void setHeight( double hei ) {
height = hei;
}
// Overload + operator to add two Box objects.
Box operator+(const Box& b) {
Box box;
box.length = this->length + b.length;
box.breadth = this->breadth + b.breadth;
box.height = this->height + b.height;
return box;
}
private:
double length; // Length of a box
double breadth; // Breadth of a box
double height; // Height of a box
};
// Main function for the program
int main() {
Box Box1; // Declare Box1 of type Box
Box Box2; // Declare Box2 of type Box
Box Box3; // Declare Box3 of type Box
double volume = 0.0; // Store the volume of a box here
// box 1 specification
Box1.setLength(6.0);
Box1.setBreadth(7.0);
Box1.setHeight(5.0);
// box 2 specification
Box2.setLength(12.0);
Box2.setBreadth(13.0);
Box2.setHeight(10.0);
// volume of box 1
volume = Box1.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box1 : " << volume <<endl;
// volume of box 2
volume = Box2.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box2 : " << volume <<endl;
// Add two object as follows:
Box3 = Box1 + Box2;
// volume of box 3
volume = Box3.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box3 : " << volume <<endl;
return 0;
}
