Function Overloading
--Prof. S.N.Shelke
C++ Overloading
If we create two or more members having the same name but different
in number or type of parameter, it is known as C++ overloading. In C++,
we can overload:
1. methods,
2. constructors, and
It is because these members have parameters only.
Function Overloading
Function Overloading is defined as the process of having two or more
function with the same name, but different in parameters is known as
function overloading in C++.
In function overloading, the function is redefined by using either different
types of arguments or a different number of arguments. It is only
through these differences compiler can differentiate between the
functions.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Cal {
public:
int add(int a,int b){
return a + b;
Output:
}
int add(int a, int b, int c) 30
{ 55
return a + b + c;
}
};
int main() {
Cal C; // class object declaration.
cout<<C.add(10, 20)<<endl;
cout<<C.add(12, 20, 23);
return 0;
}
Function Overloading and Ambiguity
When the compiler is unable to decide which function is to be invoked
among the overloaded function, this situation is known as function
overloading.
When the compiler shows the ambiguity error, the compiler does not run
the program.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Cal
{
public:
void add(int a,int b)
{
int ans=a+b+100;
cout<<a+b<<endl;
}
void add(float x, float y)
{
float ans=x+y+200;
cout<<ans<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Cal C; Output:
int y=10;
C.add(10,20); 130
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Cal
{
public:
void add(int a,int b)
{
int ans=a+b;
cout<<a+b<<endl;
}
void add(int x, int y, int z=5)
{
float ans=x+y+z;
cout<<ans<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Cal C;
int y=10;
C.add(10,20,30);
C.add(10,20);
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Cal
{
public:
void add(int x)
{
x=x+100;
cout<<x<<endl;
}
void add(int &p)
{
p=p+200
cout<<p<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Cal C;
int y=10;
C.add(y);
return 0;
}
