Operator overloading:
- In C++
programming , operator overloading defines an operators as user defined classes and it performs the operations with one or more variables together. - When an overloaded operator is defined as the user-defined type for executing the operations, it should be defined as a member function. So, it will help to invoke the operands.
- For manipulating data of the primitive data types, the C++ gives many operators.
Overloaded “[]” operator:
Overloaded operator contains many operator, the “[]” operator is the one of the type.
- The Overloaded “[]” operator is used to access the array value.
- It gives the ability to write a class that has an array like format.
Example:
Consider the example of overloaded “[]” operator is as follows:
// Include the header files
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// constant array size
const int S = 5;
// Declaration of the "Sample" class
class Sample
{
//access specifier
private:
//declare the variable
int a[S];
//access specifier
public:
//condtructor
Sample()
{
//declare the variable
int i;
//check the condition
for(i = 0; i < S; i++)
{
//set the value
a[i] = i;
}
}
//definition of overloaded "[]" operator
int &operator[](int i)
{
//check the condition
if( i >= S )
{
//display the error message
cout << "Index out of bounds" <<endl;
// return first element.
return a[0];
}
//otherwise
else
{
// return the element.
return a[i];
}
}
};
//main method
int main()
{
//create the object for the "Sample" class
Sample x;
//display the output
cout << "x[2] value is : " << x.operator[](2) <<endl;
cout << "x[5] value is : " << x.operator[](5)<<endl;
//return statement
return 0;
}

Starting Out with C++: Early Objects
- You can use Eclipse later for program verification after submission. 1. Create an abstract Animal class. Then, create a Cat class. Please implement all the methods and inheritance relations in the UML correctly: Animal name: String # Animal (name: String) + getName(): String + setName(name: String): void + toString(): String + makeSound(): void Cat breed : String age: int + Cat(name: String, breed: String, age: int) + getBreed(): String + getAge (): int + toString(): String + makeSound(): void 2. Create a public CatTest class with a main method. In the main method, create one Cat object and print the object using System.out.println(). Then, test makeSound() method. Your printing result must follow the example output: name: Coco, breed: Domestic short-haired, age: 3 Meow Meowarrow_forwardautomata theory can please wright the exact language it know for example say it knows strings start 0 and end with 1 this is as example also as regular expressionarrow_forwardI would like help to resolve the following case, thank youarrow_forward

The program should display a menu that lets the user look up a person’s email address, add a new name and email address, change an existing email address, and delete an existing name and email address. The program should pickle the dictionary and save it to a file when the user exits the program. Each time the program starts, it should retrieve the dictionary from the file and unpickle it. How would the user be able to use the program?arrow_forward
