C++ Operator Overloading

What is operator overloading
Rules for overloading Operators
Operator Overloading restrictions
List of operators that cannot be overloaded.
Overloading Unary operator
Overloading increment operator(++)
Overloading decrement operator(–)
Overloading unary operator(-)
Overloading increment operator(++) postfix
Overloading decrement operator(–) postfix

C++:Operator Overloading 15

Example:22
Declare a class named “string” with attribute as str. Take input for two objects calculate and print their sum (concatenate) using overloaded binary operator “+”.

//Add (Concatenate) two string1 
//using overloaded operator "+"
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
class string1
{
	char str[20];
public:
	void read();
	void show();
	string1 operator+(string1 s);
};
void string1::read()
{
  cout<<"Enter any string1 ";
  cin>>str;
}
void string1::show()
{
  cout<<"string1 is "<<str<<endl;
}
string1 string1::operator+(string1 s1)
{
  string1 t;
  strcpy(t.str,str);
  //strcat(t.str," ");
  strcat(t.str,s1.str);
  return(t);
}
int main()
{
  string1 e1,e2,e3;
  e1.read();e2.read();
  e1.show();e2.show();
  e3=e1+e2; //e3=e1.operator+(e2);
  e3.show();
  getch();
  return(0);
}

Output:

Enter any string1 Hello
Enter any string1 Computer
string1 is Hello
string1 is Computer
string1 is HelloComputer

Example:23
Declare a class named “string” with attributes as str. Take input for two objects calculate and print their sum (concatenate) using overloaded binary operator “+” with friend function.

//Add (Concatenate) two string1 
//using overloaded operator "+"
//Using friend function
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
class string1
{
	char str[20];
public:
	void read();
	void show();
	friend string1 operator+(string1 s1,string1 s2);
};
void string1::read()
{
  cout<<"Enter any string1 ";
  cin>>str;
}
void string1::show()
{
  cout<<"string1 is "<<str<<endl;
}
string1 operator+(string1 s1,string1 s2)
{
  string1 t;
  strcpy(t.str,s1.str);
  //strcat(t.str," ");
  strcat(t.str,s2.str);
  return(t);
}
int main()
{
  string1 e1,e2,e3;
  e1.read();e2.read();
  e1.show();e2.show();
  e3=e1+e2; //e3=operator+(e1,e2);
  e3.show();
  getch();
  return(0);
}

Output:

Enter any string1 Hello
Enter any string1 World
string1 is Hello
string1 is World
string1 is HelloWorld
