Question

Consider the two linked lists explained in lecture 10, slide 4: 1st1 and 1st2. If we try to assign lst2 to Ist1, we will run into problems because lst2 will point only to the head of Ist1 (because of the way the linked list class is defined.) We have 2 problems, First: if we call Ist1.pop_front(); lst2 will point to null. Second, the elements 72 and 94 are wasted (shown in slide 5 of lecture 10). Given a class defined in an object oriented programming language like C++ or Python, explain what is "Operator Overloading". Write a piece of C++ code to fix these problems when performing the following operation: Ist2 = Ist1

Explanation / Answer

An overloaded declaration is a declaration that had been declared with the same name as a previously declared declaration in the same scope, except that both declarations have different arguments and obviously different definition (implementation).. The definition of the function must differ from each other by the types and/or the number of arguments in the argument list.
