Input and Output Example using Operator Overloading in C++


This program defines a class Distance with two private data members feet and inches. It defines a default constructor and a parameterized constructor to initialize these data members. It also defines two friend functions operator<< and operator>>, which overload the << and >> operators respectively to display and read Distance objects from the console.

In the main function, three Distance objects are created: D1, D2, and D3. D1 and D2 are initialized using the parameterized constructor. D3 is uninitialized and its value is read from the console using the overloaded >> operator. The values of D1, D2, and D3 are displayed on the console using the overloaded << operator.

Source Code

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class Distance
{
   private:
      int feet;
      int inches;
   public:
      Distance()
      {
        feet=0;
        inches=0;
      }
      Distance(int f,int i)
      {
        feet=f;
        inches=i;
      }
      friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &output,const Distance &D)
      {
        output<<"F : "<<D.feet<<" I : "<<D.inches;
        return output;
      }
      friend istream &operator>>(istream &input,Distance &D)
      {
        input>>D.feet>>D.inches;
        return input;
      }
};
int main()
{
   Distance D1(11,10),D2(5,11),D3;
   cout<<"\nEnter the value of object : "<<endl;
   cin>>D3;
   cout<<"\nFirst Distance : "<<D1<<endl;
   cout<<"\nSecond Distance :"<<D2<<endl;
   cout<<"\nThird Distance :"<<D3<<endl;
   return 0;
