Assignment Operators
•The static_cast
operator forces the type of the student object to be a reference to a checking object. It causes the overloaded checking assignment op. to be used for the
object we are assigning to. When we assign
the student object to this reference, the
overloaded checking assignment operator is
called with the checking part of the student object.
•Another approach is to
do the following….this works because s “is
an” account object as well as a student object!
• student &student::operator=(const student &s)
{
• account::operator=(s);
