Function Overloading for User-Defined Types

Function overloading for user-defined types

Function overloading is useful with structs and classes. Furthermore, overload resolution ambiguities are much less frequent with user-defined types. Let’s overload the info() function above for some of the types that we have defined in the structs chapter:

struct TimeOfDay {
    int hour;
    int minute; 
}
void info(TimeOfDay time) {
    writef("%02s:%02s", time.hour, time.minute); 
}

This overload enables TimeOfDay objects to be ...
