Operator overloading

[venkatacplpl]

class group
{
int arr[15];

public:

///relevant code//




int&operator[](int i)
{
return arr[i];
}

\\relevant code


};


now if i have to access group elements through operator then i suppose that i should use syntax like ...

group g;

g[]i
or
[]gi

(because if i overload an operator then....we use syntax like....AoperatorB
or operator A B..where A and B are the operands)

but in the above case g[i] also works(other than g[]i
or
[]gi).....how???

plz explain...


thanks

Overloading operator[] is meant to give the same access syntax like normal arrays.

You can do g[i] or g.operator[](i);.
