Please see my other post for my (not-so-great) backstory. Here's the assignment:

Write a C++ program involving operator overloading. I have started a class PIGS. You are to take what I have started and add:

1. 2 constructors
2. 6 operator overloading functions

The default constructor in to create a white PIG of 200 pounds.
The parameterized constructor is to fill in the color and size with the parameters passed.

What you are to overload:

1. The binary + to add two PIG objects
a. Add the two sizes
b. Take the color of the first operand

2. The binary + to add a float to a PIG object
a. Just add the number to the size

3. The binary + to add a PIG object to a float
Just add the number to the size

4. The incrementing operator ++ (prefix)
a. Just add one to the size--make it work like normal prefix

5. The incrementing operator ++ (postfix)
a. Just added one to the size--make it work like normal postfix

6. The overloaded assignment operator +=
a. Just added the float to the size--should work like normal +=



THE CODE TO USE

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class PIGS
{private:
string color;
float size;
public:
PIGS();
PIGS(string, float);
// place declarations here



};

int main()
{PIGS p1, p2("BLACK",150),p3;
cout << p1 << endl;
cout << p2 << endl;
cin >> p3;
cout << p3 << endl;
p3 = p2 + p1;
cout << p3 << endl;
cout << p2 << endl;
cout << p1 << endl;
p3 = p2 + 10.5;
cout << p3 << endl;
p3 = 11.6 + p2;
cout << p3 << endl;
p3 = p1++;
cout << p3 << endl;
cout << p1 << endl;
p3 = ++p1;
cout << p3 << endl;
cout << p1 << endl;
p1+=5.6;
cout << p1 << endl;
return 0;
}


Like before, since I'm totally lost, a detailed walkthrough would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,
