Class with all the Overloaded Arithmetic Operators

So far we have learnt to overload +, -, +=, -= etc. operators and we know what is the basic theory behind operator overloading.

In this article we are going to design a program with a class that overloads almost all the arithmetic operators (+, -, +=, -=, /, *, ++, --)

This is a program centric article, so we straightway have a look at the example program.

Since nothing new has been introduced, I leave it up to you to understand everything yourself.


// Example Program with a
// a class having almost
// all the arithmetic
// operators overloaded
#include

class myclass
{
int a;
int b;

public:
myclass(){}
myclass(int,int);
void show();

myclass operator+(myclass);
myclass operator-(myclass);

// prefix
myclass operator++();
myclass operator--();

// postfix
myclass operator++(int);
myclass operator--(int);

myclass operator+=(myclass);
myclass operator-=(myclass);

myclass operator/(myclass);
myclass operator*(myclass);

};

myclass::myclass(int x,int y)
{
a=x;
b=y;
};

void myclass::show()
{
cout< }

myclass myclass::operator+(myclass ob)
{
myclass temp;

temp.a=a + ob.a;
temp.b=b + ob.b;

return temp;
}

myclass myclass::operator-(myclass ob)
{
myclass temp;

temp.a=a - ob.a;
temp.b=b - ob.b;

return temp;
}

myclass myclass::operator++()
{
a++;
b++;

return *this;
}

myclass myclass::operator--()
{
a--;
b--;

return *this;
}

myclass myclass::operator++(int x)
{
myclass old;
old=*this;

a++;
b++;

return old;
}

myclass myclass::operator--(int x)
{
myclass old;
old=*this;

a--;
b--;

return old;
}

myclass myclass::operator+=(myclass ob)
{
a+=ob.a;
b+=ob.b;

return *this;
}

myclass myclass::operator-=(myclass ob)
{
a-=ob.a;
b-=ob.b;

return *this;
}

myclass myclass::operator/(myclass ob)
{
myclass temp;

temp.a=a / ob.a;
temp.b=b / ob.b;

return temp;
}

myclass myclass::operator*(myclass ob)
{
myclass temp;

temp.a=a * ob.a;
temp.b=b * ob.b;

return temp;
}

void main()
{
myclass ob1(10,20);
myclass ob2(100,200);

ob1+=ob2;

ob1.show();
ob2.show();

ob1=ob1/ob2;
ob1.show();

ob1=ob1*ob2;
ob1.show();

ob2.show();
}
