C++ Overloading

C++ Overloading

C++ language allows programmers to specify more than one definition for a function name or an operator. This is one of the many exciting features that Object Oriented Language offers programmers. It is one of the important techniques that has extended the power and flexibility of C++. In this chapter you will learn about the types of overloading and how they are used within a C++ program.

What is Overloading?

Overloading is the technique to use a single identifier to define various methods or techniques of a class that differ in their input and output parameters. The concept of overloading is generally used when a program block conceptually execute the same task but with a slight distinctness in set of parameters.
Overloading is a concept used to avoid redundant code where the same method name or operator is used multiple times but with a different set of parameters or number of operands. The actual method that gets called during runtime is resolved at compile time, thus avoiding runtime errors. Overloading provides code clarity; reduce complexity, and increases runtime presentation of a code.
There are two types of overloading provided by C++. These are:
  • Operator Overloading
  • Function Overloading

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
