I encountered the following problem in completing my work:
No instance of overloaded function matches argument list
Below is the code I ran:
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class String
{
private:
char str[100];
char cpy[100];
public:
static const char NULLCHAR = '\0';
String()
{
str[0] = NULLCHAR;
cpy[0] = NULLCHAR;
}
String(char* orig, char* cpy)
{
Copy(orig, cpy);
}
void Display()
{
cout << str << endl;
}
void Copy(char* orig, char* dest)
{
while (*orig != '\0') {
*dest++ = *orig++;
}
*dest = '\0';
}
void Copy(String& orig, String& dest)
{
Copy(orig.str, dest.cpy);
}
void Concat(char* orig, char* cpy)
{
while (*orig)
orig++;
while (*cpy)
{
*orig = *cpy;
cpy++;
orig++;
}
*orig = '\0';
}
void Concat(String& orig, String& cpy)
{
Concat(orig.str, cpy.cpy);
}
int Length(char* orig)
{
int c = 0;
while (*orig != '\0')
{
c++;
*orig++;
}
printf("Length of string is=%d\n", c);
return(c);
}
};
int main()
{
String s;
s.Copy("Hello");
s.Display();
s.Concat(" there");
s.Display();
String s1 = "Howdy";
String s2 = " there";
String s3;
String s4("This String built by constructor");
s3.Copy(s1);
s3.Display();
s3.Concat(s2);
s3.Display();
s4.Display();
system("pause");
return 0;
}
What’s causing it, and how can it be resolved in the “no instance of overloaded function matches the argument list“ in the cpp?
The cause:
Although you a constructor that has two parameters and a default one, there is not a constructor for your String type that just accepts one argument. Therefore, the error happens.
Solution:
Copy
andConcat
functions which you give an unique parameter into a String object as the following:Your
Copy
andConcat
function take two parameters. However, you only pass one parameter to them. Your code should look something like this if you want to copy them into String objects.
