q2 Chap8 Robert Lafore C++

This document describes overloading the += operator for a String class to allow string concatenation and assignment in one statement like s1 += s2. It defines a String class with private char array to store the string. It overloads the + operator to return a new concatenated string and overloads += to concatenate strings in-place and return the object. It provides a main() to test the operators.

/*Write a program that substitutes an overloaded += operator

for the overloaded + operator in the STRPLUS program in this chapter. This
operator should allow statements like
s1 += s2;
where s2 is added (concatenated) to s1 and the result is left in s1. The operator
should also permit the results of the operation to be used in other calculations,
as in
s3 = s1 += s2;
