Overloading Restrictions (cont.)

• ONLY member functions can overload:

  • = // assignment operator
  • ( ) // function call opeator
  • [ ] // subscripting operator
  • -> // class member access by pointer operator

• You can't create new operator symbols.

• You can't use an operator in a manner that violates the syntax rules for the originaloperator.

• The overloaded operator must have at least one operand that is a user-defined type. (you can't overload for standard types).
