// Typical definition of Default Constructor

MyClass::MyClass() {

// appropriate default initialization of all data members, such as: mValue = 0;

// no return value allowed

} // MyClass::MyClass

// Typical definition of Copy Constructor

MyClass::MyClass(const MyClass& original) {

// approtriate copy code, such as: mValue = original.mValue;

// no return value allowed

} // MyClass::MyClass

// Typical Destructor

MyClass::~MyClass() {

// usually does nothing unless pointers, files, or system resources are used

}

// Typical overloaded assignment operator.

MyClass&

MyClass::operator=(const MyClass& rightside) {

// appropriate assignment code, such as mValue = rightside.mValue;

return *this;

} // MyClass::operator=

// Typical definition of Conversion Constructors

MyClass::MyClass(int number) {

// appropriate conversion code, such as: mValue = number;

// no return value allowed

} // MyClass::MyClass

// Conversion Constructor from some other object

MyClass::MyClass(const OtherClass& other) {

// appropriate conversion code, such as: mValue = other.mValue;

// no return value allowed

} // MyClass::MyClass

// Typical insertion operator definition.

// Note that this is a global function. Normally this function is declared

// a friend function inside MyClass using the following declaration:

// friend ostream& operator<<(ostream&, const MyClass&);

ostream&

operator<<(ostream& streamout, const MyClass& myObject) {

// appropriate code such as: streamout << setw(n) << myObject.mValue;

return streamout;

} // MyClass::operator<<

// Typical extraction operator definition. Notice right parameter is not const

// Note that this is a global function. Normally this function is declared

// a friend function inside MyClass using the following declaration:

// friend istream& operator>>(istream&, const MyClass&);

istream&

operator>>(istream& streamin, MyClass& myObject) {

// appropriate code such as: streamin >> myObject.mValue;

return streamin;

} // MyClass::operator>>

// Typical overloading of a prefix unary member function, except unary minus

// Prefix -- is similar

MyClass

MyClass::operator++() {

// appropriate code that makes this object "increment by one"

return *this;

} // MyClass::operator++

// Special overloading of the postfix ++ operator

// Postfix -- is similar

MyClass

MyClass::operator++(int ignore) {

MyClass temp(*this); // use Copy Constructor to make a copy of this object

++(*this); // call prefix version to "increment" this object

return temp; // use Copy Constructor to return the object as it

// was before incrementing.

} // MyClass::operator++(int)

// Typical overloading of the unary minus operator

// Note that this function does not change the original object

MyClass

MyClass::operator-() {

MyClass temp(*this);

// appropriate code to negate the temporary such as: temp.mValue = -temp.mValue;

return temp; // return the temp, using the Copy Constructor.

} // Integer::operator-

// Typical overloading of the unary plus operator

// Note that this function does not change the original object

MyClass

MyClass::operator+() {

MyClass temp(*this);

// usually this operator does nothing, so no code goes here

return temp; // return the temp, using the Copy Constructor.

} // Integer::operator-

// Typical overloading of a global binary friend function.

// Normally these functions are defined in terms of the combination

// assignment operator, such as +=

// Note that this is a global function. Normally this function is declared

// a friend function inside MyClass using the following declaration:

// friend MyClass operator+(const MyClass&, const MyClass&);

// Similar definitions for -, *, /, %

MyClass

operator+(const MyClass& left, const MyClass& right) {

MyClass temp(left); // use Copy Constructor to create a local copy of left

temp += right; // use += operator below to perform the "addition"

return temp; // use Copy Constructor to copy temp to return location

} // operator+

// Typical overloading of a combination assignment member function

// Similar definitions for -=, *=, /=, %=

MyClass&

MyClass::operator+=(const MyClass& rightside) {

// appropriate code goes here to "add" the rightside of += to this object,

// such as: mValue += rightside.mValue;

return *this;

} // MyClass::operator+=

// Typical overloading of a binary friend logical function

// Does not have a corresponding combination assignment function.

// Similar definitions for >, >=, <=, ==, !=

// Also more rarely, similar definitions for && and !!

bool

operator<(const MyClass& left, const MyClass& right) {

bool result;

// appropriate code goes here, such as: result = left.mValue < right.mValue;

return result;

} // operator<

// Typical overloading of the unary not operator

bool

MyClass::operator!() {

bool result;

// appropriate code goes here that returns a logical result for this object,

// often depending on whether this object has been properly initialized.

return result;

} // MyClass::operator<

// Typical type cast operator to intrinsic type. No parameters or return type.

// Notice that even though there is no return type, the function must

// return a value whose type matches the operator. operator int() must

// return an int, operator float() must return a float, etc.

MyClass::operator int() {

return mValue; // where mValue is the correct type, int for this example.

}

int main() {

// test code would go here

return 0;

} // main
