Overload Binary Operators in C ++: Explained

Overload Binary Operators in C ++ is easier to understand when the core ideas are paired with practical examples. The sections below explain the topic clearly, highlight useful steps, and point out details that can prevent common errors.

Binary operators in C ++ take two parameters. You use binary operators quite often, such as addition operator (+), subtraction operator (-) and division operator (/).

the example below explains how the plus (+) operator can be overloaded in C ++. Similarly, you can overload the minus operator (-) and the division operator (/).

 #include using namespace std ; class Box { double chieudai ; // Chieu dai cua mot box double chieurong ; // Chieu rong cua mot box double chieucao ; // Chieu cao cua mot box public : double tinhTheTich ( void ) { return chieudai * chieurong * chieucao ; } void setChieuDai ( double dai ) { chieudai = dai ; } void setChieuRong ( double rong ) { chieurong = rong ; } void setChieuCao ( double cao ) { chieucao = cao ; } // Nap chong toan tu + de cong hai doi tuong Box. Box operator +( const Box & b ) { Box box ; box . chieudai = this -> chieudai + b . chieudai ; box . chieurong = this -> chieurong + b . chieurong ; box . chieucao = this -> chieucao + b . chieucao ; return box ; } }; // ham main cua chuong trinh int main ( ) { Box Box1 ; // Khai bao Box1 la cua kieu Box Box Box2 ; // Khai bao Box2 la cua kieu Box Box Box3 ; // Khai bao Box3 la cua kieu Box double thetich = 0.0 ; // Luu giu the tich cua mot box tai day // thong tin chi tiet cua box 1 Box1 . setChieuDai ( 3.0 ); Box1 . setChieuRong ( 4.0 ); Box1 . setChieuCao ( 5.0 ); // thong tin chi tiet cua box 2 Box2 . setChieuDai ( 6.0 ); Box2 . setChieuRong ( 7.0 ); Box2 . setChieuCao ( 8.0 ); // the tich cua box 1 thetich = Box1 . tinhTheTich (); cout << "The tich cua Box1 : " << thetich << endl ; // the tich cua box 2 thetich = Box2 . tinhTheTich (); cout << "The tich cua Box2 : " << thetich << endl ; // Cong hai doi tuong: Box3 = Box1 + Box2 ; // the tich cua box 3 thetich = Box3 . tinhTheTich (); cout << "The tich cua Box3 : " << thetich << endl ; return 0 ; }
