What is Function Overloading?
When we define one function with more than one definition it is known as Function overloading. For example:
int shape(int x); int shape(int x, int y);
We can have multiple definitions for the same function name in the same scope. The definition of the function must differ from each other by the types and/or the number of arguments in the argument list. We can not overload function declarations that differ only by return type.
Program to implement Function Overloading to find area of different shapes:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class measure
{
public:
void shape(int r);
void shape(int l,int b);
void shape(float t,int d,int e);
void shape(long a);
void shape(float c, long int g);
void shape(double j);
void shape(float h, double f);
};
void measure::shape(int r)
{
cout<<"area of the circle is "<<3.14*r*r;
}
void measure::shape(int l,int b)
{
cout<<"area of the rectangle is "<<l*b;
}
void measure::shape(float t,int d,int e)
{
cout<<"area of the triangle is "<<t*d*e;
}
void measure::shape(long a)
{
cout<<"area of the square is "<<a*a;
}
void measure::shape(float c, long int g)
{
cout<<"Volume of the cone is "<<((3.14*c*c*g)/3);
}
void measure::shape(double j)
{
cout<<"Volume of the sphere is "<<(4/3)*3.14*j*j*j;
}
void measure::shape(float h, double f)
{
cout<<"nVolume of the Cylinder is "<<3.14*f*f*h;
}
int main()
{
char choice;
int r,d,e,l,b;
