  2. Function overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

    In some programming languages, function overloading or method overloading is the ability to create multiple functions of the same name with different implementations. Calls to an overloaded function will run a specific implementation of that function appropriate to the context of the call, allowing one function call to perform different tasks ...

  3. Double dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dispatch

    The problem is that, while virtual functions are dispatched dynamically in C++, function overloading is done statically. The problem described above can be resolved by simulating double dispatch, for example by using a visitor pattern. Suppose the existing code is extended so that both SpaceShip and ApolloSpacecraft are given the function

  4. Type signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_signature

    [3] Understanding the notion of a function signature is an important concept for all computer science studies. Modern object orientation techniques make use of interfaces, which are essentially templates made from function signatures. C++ uses function overloading with various signatures.

  5. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Only extant operators in the language may be overloaded, by defining new functions with identifiers such as "+", "*", "&" etc. Subsequent revisions of the language (in 1995 and 2005) maintain the restriction to overloading of extant operators. In C++, operator overloading is more refined than in ALGOL 68. [44]

  6. Operators in C and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C++

    All logical operators exist in C and C++ and can be overloaded in C++, albeit the overloading of the logical AND and logical OR is discouraged, because as overloaded operators they behave as ordinary function calls, which means that both of their operands are evaluated, so they lose their well-used and expected short-circuit evaluation property ...

  7. Multiple dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch

    Multiple dispatch or multimethods is a feature of some programming languages in which a function or method can be dynamically dispatched based on the run-time (dynamic) type or, in the more general case, some other attribute of more than one of its arguments. [1]

  8. Visitor pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern

    [3]: 288 For example, iteration over a directory structure could be implemented by a function class instead of more conventional loop pattern. This would allow deriving various useful information from directories content by implementing a visitor functionality for every item while reusing the iteration code. It's widely employed in Smalltalk ...

  9. Assignment operator (C++) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_operator_(C++)

    In the C++ programming language, the assignment operator, =, is the operator used for assignment.Like most other operators in C++, it can be overloaded.. The copy assignment operator, often just called the "assignment operator", is a special case of assignment operator where the source (right-hand side) and destination (left-hand side) are of the same class type.
