Function Overloading In C++ | Function Overloading Explained With Real Life Examples | Function Overloading In OOPs

 Function Overloading In C++ 



What is function overloading?

Function overloading means creating duplicates of the same function but it will be different from that function. WHAT ??. I know you don't understand. So let me explain this concept by a real-life example. So think about your mother, your mother is a woman but she plays many roles like sometimes she is your mother, sometimes she plays the role of wife, sometimes she plays the role of daughter, etc. So your mom is overloading to the different roles she overloads different roles every time.

So same function overloading means to overload properties of different functions.





And here is the official definition of function overloading - 

Function overloading is a feature in C++ where two or more functions can have the same name but different parameters. When a function name is overloaded with different jobs it is called Function Overloading.


Here in C++ Function overloading mean you overload some other function with the same name but the difference is in the number of parameters and its typing.


Here how you can overload a function in C++ - 


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int sum(int a,int b) //Function with 2 int type parameter
    {
      return a+b;      
    }

//overloaded function
int sum(int a, int b, int c) //Same function with 3 int type parameter
{
    return a + b +c;
}

//overloaded function
float sum(float a) //same function with 1 float type parameter
{
    return a;
}

//etc.
int main()
{
    cout<<sum(1,5)<<endl;
    cout<<sum(112,235,23)<<endl;
    cout<<sum(12.44)<<endl;
    return 0;
}



Output -

Constructor In C++ | Constructor Explained With Real Life Example

 Constructor In C++  What is a constructor? Constructor sounds like it will construct something, right? So yeah it is somewhat related to construction. So I will ask you a question if you want to stay in your house which is not built till now then what will you do? Maybe you will say what are you asking Dhruv. Well, the answer is very simple you will construct your house first. Am I right?. And you can do any change in your house during the construction right. So as in this example, the house will call class and the process of building your house will call the  constructor.  So when you create a class or call an object of any class then first before going into class first your class is calling constructor which will run by default but if you want to modify that constructor then you can do it. Constructor is like a simple function that will run every time when we go inside a class. Here is the official definition of a constructor -  A  constructor  is ...

Destructor In C++ | Destructor Explained With Real Life Examples

 Destructor In C++ What is a Destructor ? As you previously understood about Constructor . You know how constructor works so destructor is opposite of that -  What are opposite in destroctor -  - Destructor call the end of a class always - Destructor takes no argument - Destructor won't return anything - To Modify a constructor you should use ~className Other than that Destructor is same as constructor. #include   < iostream > using   namespace   std ; class   myClass {           public :      ~   myClass ()      {          cout << " I AM A DESRUCTOR " << endl ;      }      void   get ()      {          cout << " I am a simple method " << endl ;   ...

Array Of Objects In C++ | Array Of Objects Explained With Real Life Example

 Array Of Objects In C++ What is an array of objects? As you know about the array that it is a set of anything like if there is an array of characters then there will be a set of characters. So the same concepts will be applied to objects - A array of objects will be a set of objects. To understand array of objects more clearly suppose you have a form for a job application and you want to send same job application to 100 people. Then rather then creating 100 job application from scratch you can photocopy the same job application form 100 times.Right? So here how you can create array of object in c++ -  #include   < iostream > using   namespace   std ; class   School {      public :        int   std_id ;      int   std_class ;      float   percentage ;      void   add_details ()      {     ...
