## 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
|
||||
```
