UNARY OPERATORS OVERLOADING IN C++

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/unary_operators_overloading.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com

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.

#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;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
F: -11 I:-10
F: 5 I:-11

Hope above example makes your concept clear and you can apply similar concept to overload
Logical Not Operators !.
