Operator Overloading Homework 1. What is the difference between a binary operator and a function? 2. When overloading operators, give reasons for choosing member functions or friend functions. 3. When the stream input and output operators are overloaded to work with user- defined classes, are these operator functions usually members or friends? Why? 4. Is it possible using operator overloading to change the behavior of + on integers? Why or why not? 5. Which operators cannot be overloaded? 6. What restrictions apply to overloading the following operators? 7. Why can we not overload as member operators?

Explanation / Answer

1) What is the difference between a binary operator and a function.

There is No difference. An operator is type of function. It just uses a different syntax than conventional "functions"

- The operator which operates on two operands and manipulates them to return a result is called as a binary operator.

- A function is a group of statements that together perform a task.

2) When overloading operators, give reasons for choosing member functions or friend functions.

- Member functions and friend are not two opposite among which you need to choose only one.
- They both can be used to avoid duplicating code by implementing one and making the other calling it.
- When the operator takes as arguments only members of the class you are designing, encapsulation votes
for using a member function.

3) When the stream input and output operators are overloaded to work with user defined classes are these operator functions usually members or friends? why?

The overloaded to work with user defined classes are these operator functions usually members why because
The overloaded operator is defined as a member instead of a friend (Cents::operator+ instead of friend operator+).

4) Is it possible using operator overloading to chnage the behavior of + on integers?Why or why not?

Answer is No, because you can't overload any type of function with two identical sets of
declarations (accepting two int types)
