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

Python Overview

Python Overview Python is a general purpose object-oriented programming language with high-level programming capabilities. It has become famous because of its clear and easily understandable syntax, portability and easy to learn. Some Facts About Python Python was developed in the late eighties i.e. late 1980’s by  Guido van Rossum  at the  National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science  in the Netherlands as a successor of ABC language capable of exception handling and interfacing. Python is derived from programming languages such as: ABC, Modula 3, small talk, algol-68. PHP page is a file with  .py  extension that contains could be the combination of HTML Tags and Python scripts. In December 1989 the creator developed the 1st python interpreter as a  hobby  and then in 16 October 2000, Python 2.0 was released with many new features. On 3rd December 2008,  Python 3.0  was released with more testing and includes new fea...

C++ Tokens

Declaration & Assignments C++ Tokens As mentioned earlier, C++ is the superset of  C  and so most constructs of C are legal in C++ with their meaning and usage unchanged. So tokens, expressions and data types are similar like that of C. It also is preferred to understand the concepts of C before learning C++. However there are some exceptions and additions in C++ which you will not get in C. In this chapter you will learn about what are tokens, and the different types of tokens, expressions, and basic data types. What are Tokens Each individual word and punctuation is referred to as a token in C++. Tokens are the smallest building block or smallest unit of a C++ program. These following tokens are available in C++: Identifiers Keywords Constants Operators Strings Identifiers : Identifiers are names given to different entries such as variables, structures and functions. Also identifier names should have to be unique because these entities are used in the execution of the pr...
