Overloading Unary Minus using a Member Function

When overloading using a member function, the operator function is a member of the
class and works on the calling object.

#include<iostream>

class Distance {

private:

int feet;

int inches; Practicalkida.com


public:

// Constructors

Distance() : feet(0), inches(0) {}

Distance(int f, int i) : feet(f), inches(i) {}

// Member function to overload unary minus (-)

Distance operator- () const {

return Distance(-feet, -inches);

// Function to display Distance

void displayDistance() const {

std::cout << "F: " << feet << " I: " << inches << std::endl;

};
int main() {

Distance D1(11, 10), D2(-5, 11);

Distance D3 = -D1; // Using member function

D3.displayDistance();

Distance D4 = -D2; // Using member function

D4.displayDistance();

return 0;

2. Overloading Unary Minus using a Friend Function

When overloading using a friend function, the operator function is defined outside the
class but is granted access to the class's private and protected members.

#include<iostream>

class Distance {

private:

int feet;

int inches;

public:

// Constructors

Distance() : feet(0), inches(0) {}


Distance(int f, int i) : feet(f), inches(i) {}

// Friend function to overload unary minus (-)

friend Distance operator- (const Distance& d);

// Function to display Distance

void displayDistance() const {

std::cout << "F: " << feet << " I: " << inches << std::endl;

}
Practicalkida.com
};

Distance operator- (const Distance& d) {

return Distance(-d.feet, -d.inches);

int main() {

Distance D1(11, 10), D2(-5, 11);

Distance D3 = -D1; // Using friend function

D3.displayDistance();

Distance D4 = -D2; // Using friend function

D4.displayDistance();

return 0;

}
Member Function: The overloaded - operator as a member function is called on the
object directly (e.g., -D1). The function works on this pointer, representing the
calling object.

Friend Function: The overloaded - operator as a friend function takes an object of the
class as a parameter and returns a new object with negated values.
