Fundamentals of Operator Overloading

Q1: To use an operator on user-defined class objects, operator overloading:

Must never be used, with three exceptions.

Must never be used.
Must always be used.
Must always be used, with three exceptions.

Q2: The correct function name for overloading the addition (+) operator is:

operator_+.
operator:+.
operator+.
operator(+).

Restrictions on Operator Overloading

Q1: Which of the following operators cannot be overloaded?

The . operator.
The -> operator.
The [ ] operator.
The & operator.

Q2: Which statement about operator overloading is False?

New operators can never be created.

Certain overloaded operators can change the number of arguments they take.
The precedence of an operator cannot be changed by overloading.
Overloading cannot change how an operator works on built-in types.

Q3: To implicitly overload the += operator:

Only the = operator needs to be overloaded.

Only the + operator needs to be overloaded.
 The += operator cannot be overloaded implicitly.
Both the + and = operators need to be overloaded.

Operator Functions as Class Members vs. Global Functions

Q1: Which of the following operators can be overloaded as a global function?

().
==.
+=.
[].

Q2: Which situation would require the operator to be overloaded as a global function?

The left most operand must be a class object (or a reference to a class object).
The left operand is an int1.
The operator returns a reference.
The overloaded operator is =.

Q3: An overloaded + operator takes a class object and a double as operands. For it to be
commutative (i.e., a + b and b + a both work):

The + operator cannot be overloaded to be commutative.

operator+ must be a non-member function.
operator+ must be a member function of the class from which the objects are instantiated.
It must be overloaded twice; the operator+ function that takes the object as the left
operand must be a member function, and the other operator+ function must be a global
function.

Overloading Stream Insertion and Stream Extraction Operators

Q1: Suppose you have a programmer-defined data type Data and want to overload the <<
operator to output your data type to the screen in the form cout << dataToPrint; and allow
cascaded function calls. The first line of the function definition would be:

ostream &operator<<( const Data &dataToPrint, ostream &output ).

ostream &operator<<( ostream &output, const Data &dataToPrint ).
ostream operator<<( ostream &output, const Data &dataToPrint ).
ostream operator<<( const Data &dataToPrint, ostream &output ).

Overloading Unary Operators

Q1: Suppose the unary ! operator is an overloaded member function of class String. For a String
object s, which function call is generated by the compiler when it finds the expression !s?

A compiler error results because no arguments are given.

operator!( s ).
s.operator!( default_value1, default_value2,…).
s.operator!().

Overloading Binary Operators

Q1: y and z are user-defined objects and the += operator is an overloaded member function.
The operator is overloaded such that y += z adds z and y, then stores the result in y. Which of
the following expressions is always equivalent to y += z?

y.operator+=( z ).
y = y + z.
y = y operator+= z.
y operator+=( y + z ).

Q2: For operators overloaded as non-static member functions:

Both binary and unary operators take one argument.

Neither binary nor unary operators can have arguments.
Binary operators can have two arguments and unary operators can have one.
Binary operators can have one argument, and unary operators cannot have any.

Converting between Types

Q1: Conversion constructors:

Can convert between user-defined types.

Are implicitly defined by the compiler if not explicitly written by the programmer.
Cannot convert built-in types to user defined types.
Can have multiple arguments.

Q2: The prototypes of overloaded cast operator functions do not:

Specify the type they convert to.

Need to be defined inside the class whose objects are being converted.
Specify the type that is being converted.
Specify a return type.

Q3: Which of the following lines would be the prototype for an overloaded cast operator
function that converts an object of user-defined type Time into a double?

Time::operator_cast(double) const;.
Time::static_cast double() const;.
Time::operator double() const;.
d. Time::double() const;.

Q4: Conversion constructors cannot:

Be used to convert the arguments for overloaded operators to the types needed by
those overloaded operators.
Take exactly one argument.
Be used implicitly in series to match the needs of an overloaded operator.
Be applied implicitly.
Q: Assume that the function call operator() is overloaded for data type String in the usual sense
of selecting a substring from a larger string. For a String object string1 with the character string
"ABCDEFGHI", what string does string1( 4 , 2 ) return?

"CDEF".
"EF".
"CD".
"EFGHI".

Q1: The conventional way to distinguish between the overloaded preincrement and
postincrement operators (++) is:

To assign a dummy value to preincrement.

To make the argument list of postincrement include an int.
To have the postincrement operator call the preincrement operator.
Implicitly done by the compiler.
