operator/ is the operator for dividing.

The following line of code calls operator/ to divide the values of two integers:


const int x = 12 / 4;

operator/ is encapsulated by the functor std::divides.

Example function to overload operator/


#include <cassert>

 

struct Test

{

  Test(const int x = 0) : mX(x) {}

  int mX;

};

 

const Test operator/(const Test& lhs, const Test& rhs)

{

  return Test( lhs.mX / rhs.mX );

}

 

int main()

{

  const Test t1(12);

  const Test t2(4);

  const Test t3 = t1 / t2;

  assert(t3.mX == 3);

}
