#2

@mehulbhandari358,
Your doubt is not clear, what do you want to do…??

#3

where is operator overloading done in class comlex ? or outside of it.

#4

@mehulbhandari358,
Inside, in fact operator overloading can only be done inside a class.

#5

but in the webinar overloading “<<” cin sir did it outside the function.

@mehulbhandari358,
That’s because it is a unary operator, you can overload unary operator outside class also, but if for e.g you have to overload + operator, then you need to have a class.

#7

why was << this overloaded outiside the class

#8

@mehulbhandari358,
Because it is already a member of istream class, and we can not redefine it, thus we declare it outside the class as a friend function. Read more here

#9

can we overload an operator outside a class
and call it for the class object.
