insertion overloading in c++
To overload the insertion operator in C++, you can use the following steps:
- Create a class for which you want to overload the insertion operator.
- Define the insertion operator function as a friend function of the class to allow it to access the private members of the class.
- Inside the insertion operator function, use the ostream parameter to output the data members of the class object.
- Return the ostream object to allow chaining of insertion operators.
These steps will allow you to overload the insertion operator in C++ and customize the way objects of your class are displayed when using the insertion operator (<<).
