C++ Overloading assignment operator Previous Page ‘Next Page We already know the assignment operator in C+. In this tutorial we will be leaming concept of C++ Overloading assignment operator. Assignment operator in C++ 1. Assignment Operator is Used to assign value to an variable. 2. Assignment operator is denoted by equal to sign. 3. Assignment operator have Two values L-Value and R-value, Operator copies R-Value into L-Value. 4. It isa binary operator. C++ Overloading Assignment Operator 1, C++ Overloading assignment operator can be done in object oriented programming. 2. By overloading assignment operator, all values of one object (i.e instance variables) can be copied to another object. 3. Assignment operator must be overloaded by a non-static member function only. 4. If the overloading function for the assignment operator is not written in the class, the compiler generates the function to overload the assignment operator. Syntax Return_Type operator = (const Class Name &) Way of overloading Assignment Operator wincludeciostream> using namespace std; class Marks { private: int m1; int m25 public //Default constructor Markee) £// Paranetrised constructor Marks(int i, int 5) ( m= is m= 35 y // Overloading of Assignment Operator void operator=(const Marks &M ) { mi = Mond; m2 = M.m23 void Display() { cout << "Marks in Ist Subject:" << mls cout << “Marks in 2nd Subject:" << m2s y b int main() { // Make two objects of class Marks Marks Mark1(45, 89); Marks Mark2(36, 59); cout << " Marks of first student Mark1.Display(); cout << " Marks of Second student Mark2.Display(); // use assignment operator Marki = Mark2; cout << " Mark in ist Subject. Mark1.Display(); return 0; Explanation private: int mi; int m2; Here, in Class Marks contains private Data Members ml and m2. Marks Mark1(45, 89); Marks Mark?(36. 59)In the main function, we have made two objects ‘Mark!’ and ‘Mark2’ of class ‘Marks’. We have initialized values of two objects using parametrised constructor. void operator=(const Marks &M ) { mL = Moms m2 = Mema3 ‘As shown in above code, we overload the assignment operator, Therefore, ‘copy content of object ‘Mark2” into ‘Markl’ Output Marks of first student : Mark in 1st Subject : 45 Marks in 2nd Subject : 89 Marks of Second student : Mark in Ist Subject : 36 Marks in 2nd Subject : 59 Marks of First student : Mark in 1st Subject : 36 Marks in 2nd Subject : 59 *Mark1=Mark2’ from main function will
