Constructor Overloading: Week-4 (Part-1)

This document discusses function overloading, constructor overloading, and destructors in C++. It explains that functions can be overloaded based on their signature (name and parameter types). Constructors can also be overloaded by defining multiple constructors with different parameter lists in a class. Destructors are automatically called when an object is destroyed, but destructors cannot be overloaded or take parameters. The document provides examples of function, constructor, and destructor overloading in C++.

Function Overloading
• A function name having several definitions that are
differentiable by the number or types of their arguments
• Example
float divide (int a, int b);
float divide (float x, float y);
• The key to function overloading is a function’s
name and argument list which is also known as
the function signature
o It is the signature, not the function type that enables
function overloading

Cont…
• If two functions are having same number and types of
arguments in the same order, they are said to have the same
signature
• Even if they are using distinct variable names, it doesn’t
matter
• For instance, following two functions have same signature

void squar (int a, float b);


void squar (int x, float y);

Steps to Overloading
Functions
• Declare and define all the functions with the same name but
different signatures, separately
• After declaring overloading functions, you must define them
separately

Example

CSSE-2133 Object Oriented Programming


Important Note !
• When a function name is declared more than once in a program, the
compiler will interpret the second (and subsequent) declaration(s) as
follows:
o If the signatures of subsequent functions match the previous
function’s, then the second is treated as a re-declaration of the
first
o If the signatures of two functions match exactly but the return
type differ, the second declaration is treated as an erroneous re-
declaration of the first and is flagged at compile time as an error

For example,
float square (float f);
Error
double square (float x);

Constructor Overloading
• In C++ a class may have more than 1 constructor
• Constructor overloading is the process of defining more than 1
constructor in the same class
• Just like overloaded functions, overloaded constructors in a
class must have different parameter lists
o Rectangle ();
o Rectangle (int);
o Rectange(int,float,string);

Example

class Calculator Calculator(int a, int b, int c)
{ {
int val1; val1 = a;
int val2; val2 = b;
int val3; val3 = c;
public: }
Calculator() int sum1()
{ {
return (val1 + val2);
val1 = 10;
}
val2 = 20;
int sum2()
val3 = 30;
{
}
return (val1 + val2 + val3);
Calculator(int a, int b)
}
{
};
val1 = a;
val2 = b;
}
void main()
{
Calculator obj1;
Calculator obj2(22, 33);
Calculator obj3(50, 80, 110);
cout << "Sum of number of object # 1 :: " << obj1.sum1() << endl;
cout << "Sum of number of object # 1 :: " << obj2.sum1() << endl;
cout << "Sum of number of object # 1 :: " << obj3.sum2() << endl;
}

Progress Check !
TURE/FALSE
• A class may have more than one destructor
• When an object is destroyed, destructor is automatically called
• Presence of many destructor in a class is called destructor
overloading
• A destructor can have a return type
• A destructor can have arguments like destructor
• We can pass arguments to a constructor
• Destructors cannot take arguments
• Destructors can be overloaded.

CSSE-2133 Object Oriented Programming


Progress Check
• Return type of a destructor is 
(a) int (b) tilde
(c) void (d) nothing, destructor has no return value
• A class may have __________ destructor 
(a) two (b) only one
(c) many (d) none of these
