Chapter 11. Constructors and Destructors: Potential Trouble

Topics in this Chapter

• More on Passing Objects by Value

• Operator Overloading for Nonnumeric Classes

• More on the Copy Construction

• Overloading the Assignment Operator

• Practical Considerations: What to Implement

• Summary

Overloaded operator functions give a new twist to object-oriented programming. Instead of concentrating on binding together data and operations and related ideas, we find ourselves busy with aesthetic considerations and the issues of equally treating built-in types and programmer-defined types by a C++ program.
