I have class which contains a dynamic array I want to overload the plus operator. This is my code: it does not work. The class name TProgram and there is a dynamic array kt and I want to expand the orginal array with another array.
TProgram TProgram::operator+(const TProgram &Tv) const {
int K = 0;
TProgram Larger;
delete []Larger.Ct;
Larger.kt = new string[Length];
for(int Y = 0; Y < Length; Y++){
Larger.kt[K++] = kt[Y];
}
for(int X = Tv.Length; X < Length; X++){
Larger.kt[K++] = Tp.kt[X];
}
return Larger;
}

Answer 1

I think you have to change this 3 things:
Larger.kt = new string[Length]; to Larger.kt = new string[Length + Tv.Length]; because the array will be the sum of the two
int X = Tv.Length; to int X = 0; because you are iterating through another array, so you have to start from the beginning
X < Length to X < Tv.Length because you are iterating through the Tv's array, and not the *this's array
And then i think it should work.
Also I would suggest to create a private constructor that takes a int size and assign a new array to the array pointer inside the class with that size (better if in the initialization list) in order to avoid code like this:
TProgram Larger;
delete []Larger.Ct;
Larger.kt = new string[Length + Tv.Length];
and instead use code like this:
TProgram Larger(Length + Tv.Length);
