Overloading operators

alex067 (401)
I have an assignment where I have to add 2 coordinate points by overloading + and * operators.

I have an issue where after I input points for x,y for object A, it doesn't ask me to input points for B it just goes straight to the addition.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class POINTS
{
private: int x, y; //coordinates 
public: 
		POINTS();
		void ReadCoords();
		friend POINTS operator + (POINTS A, POINTS B);
		void DisplayResult();
		~POINTS();
};
POINTS::POINTS()
{
	x = 0; y = 0;
}

void POINTS::ReadCoords()
{
	cin >> x, y;
}

POINTS operator + (POINTS A, POINTS B)
{
	POINTS R; //object of the result
	R.x = A.x + B.x;
	R.y = A.y + B.y; 

	return R;
}

void POINTS::DisplayResult()
{
	cout << "The addition of coordinates A and B are (" << x << "," << y << ")" << endl;
}

POINTS::~POINTS()
{

}
int main()
{
	POINTS A, B, C;

	cout << "Enter the coordinates for point A: " << endl;
	A.ReadCoords();

	cout << "Enter the coordinates for point B: " << endl;
	B.ReadCoords();

	C = A + B;

	C.DisplayResult();

	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;

line 22, cin >> x >> y;

line 36, you dont write
"The addition of coordinates A and B are ("
because, it may display other objects, e.g. A.DisplayResult();

overload by member function for same class members.

Can you elaborate a bit more? I still don't see what the issue is
