## Unary Operators Overloading in C++
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The unary operators operate on a single operand and following are the examples of Unary operators −
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The increment (++) and decrement (--) operators.
|
||||||
|
The unary minus (-) operator.
|
||||||
|
The logical not (!) operator.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The unary operators operate on the object for which they were called and normally, this operator appears on the left side of the object, as in !obj, -obj, and ++obj but sometime they can be used as postfix as well like obj++ or obj--.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Following example explain how minus (-) operator can be overloaded for prefix as well as postfix usage.
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```cpp
|
||||||
|
#include <iostream>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
using namespace std;
|
||||||
|
class Distance {
|
||||||
|
private:
|
||||||
|
int feet; // 0 to infinite
|
||||||
|
int inches; // 0 to 12
|
||||||
|
public:
|
||||||
|
// required constructors
|
||||||
|
Distance() {
|
||||||
|
feet = 0;
|
||||||
|
inches = 0;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
Distance(int f, int i) {
|
||||||
|
feet = f;
|
||||||
|
inches = i;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// method to display distance
|
||||||
|
void displayDistance() {
|
||||||
|
cout << "F: " << feet << " I:" << inches << endl;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// overloaded minus (-) operator
|
||||||
|
Distance operator - () {
|
||||||
|
feet = -feet;
|
||||||
|
inches = -inches;
|
||||||
|
return Distance(feet, inches);
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
int main() {
|
||||||
|
Distance D1(11, 10), D2(-5, 11);
|
||||||
|
- D1; // apply negation
|
||||||
|
D1.displayDistance(); // display D1
|
||||||
|
- D2; // apply negation
|
||||||
|
D2.displayDistance(); // display D2
|
||||||
|
return 0;
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Output:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
F: -11 I:-10
|
||||||
|
F: 5 I:-11
|
||||||
|
```
