some q/a to help it from an instructor
Operator overloading Q/A
Q: This is from the lecture but I don’t really understand what’s going on here:
Date d4;
//later
d4 = d1;
A: Here we can do direct assignment if we overloaded the assignment operator for the Date
Q: Assignment or copy constructor?
A:
Date d1;
Date d2 = d1;//this is a copy constructor. The same as if I said:
Date d2(d1);
//this is assignment:
Date d1, d2;
////later
d1 = d2;
Q: “But what do I add? Days? Months? Years? There is some ambiguity here. Not to overload. “
Wouldn’t it do all of them?
A: If I have:
Date d;
……
d = d + 5;
Is it clear what do I add to that date d?
Q: Why is that istream and ostream?
A: in one case you enable the direct input to the Date, in other case you enable direct output. So you can:
Date d;
cin>>d; //to read in directly to the d.
cout<<d; //to print directly from the d.
