    C++ Overloading (Function and Operator)

    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:
    • methods,
    • constructors, and
    • indexed properties
    Types of overloading in C++ are:
    C++ 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.
    • The advantage of Function overloading is that it
    increases the readability of the program because you
    don't need to use different names for the same action
    Function Overloading Example
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class Cal {
    public:
    static int add(int a,int b){
    return a + b;
    }
    static int add(int a, int b, int c)
    {
    return a + b + c;
    }
    };
    int main(void) {
    Cal C; // class object declaration.
    cout<<C.add(10, 20)<<endl;
    cout<<C.add(12, 20, 23);
    return 0;
    }
    When the type of the arguments vary
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int mul(int,int);
    float mul(float,int);
    int mul(int a,int b)
    {
    return a*b;
    }
    float mul(double x, int y)
    {
    return x*y;
    }
    int main()
    {
    int r1 = mul(6,7);
    float r2 = mul(0.2,3);
    std::cout << "r1 is : " <<r1<< std::endl;
    std::cout <<"r2 is : " <<r2<< std::endl;
    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.
    Causes of Function Overloading:
    • Type Conversion.
    • Function with default arguments.
    • Function with pass by reference.
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    void fun(int);
    void fun(float);
    void fun(int i)
    {
    std::cout << "Value of i is : " <<i<< std::endl;
    }
    void fun(float j)
    {
    std::cout << "Value of j is : " <<j<< std::endl;
    }
    int main()
    {
    fun(12);
    fun(1.2);
    return 0;
    }
    Explanation
    • example shows an error "call of overloaded 'fun(double)' is
    ambiguous".
    • The fun(10) will call the first function.
    • The fun(1.2) calls the second function according to our
    prediction. But, this does not refer to any function as in C++,
    all the floating point constants are treated as double not as a
    float.
    • If we replace float to double, the program works.
    • Therefore, this is a type conversion from float to double.
