Overloading function operator ()
-
Can we overload the function operator () - Curly brackets ? If yes then what would be the syntax for this.
int operator()(int i1, int i2)
{
return /* whatever */;
}Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Why would you want the curly brackets to have a dual role in life? What problem are you trying to solve?

I agree with you, no need to overload curly brackets.
Still Alive!!! Thank you God.

If you mean
{}then no, because they are not operators. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ Laugh it up, fuzzball. -

humm??? I lookedup in MSDN and it should be links for JScript.. As far as my knowldge Brase brackets are not operators so you cant overload it. brase brackets is used by the compiler for scope management of the identifiers.

STL uses it all the time: they are called 'functors'. Search MSDN or Google for functors and you'll understand what I mean. Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable. It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski

Right: You can overload normal parenthesis, being (), which is what I think the original poster really meant. You can't overload curly braces {}, because it's meaningless (although I could see some possible uses for lambda constructs, perhaps.)

No I mean for parenthesis (). This has been asked to me during an interview. Can we overload function operator () ? If yes then how and in what scenario this would be required.
class multiplier
{
public:
int operator()(int i) { return i * 3; }
};multiplier mul;
cout << mul(10); // should return 30Robert-Antonio "Life is very hard, when you apply E-R model to it."

With all due respect, are you blind? Did you not see the first response to your query? -- So let's just walk from place to place, as long as we don't talk face to face.
