Const and Non-Const Operator Overloading

Question

I have a topic I\'m confused on that I need some elaborating on. It\'s operator overloading with a const version and a non-const version.

// non-const
double          


        

Answer 1

To supply a code example to complement the answer above:

Array a(3);
a[0] = 2.0;  //non-const version called on non-const 'a' object

const Array b(3);
double var = b[1];  //const version called on const 'b' object

const Array c(3);
c[0] = 2.0;  //compile error, cannot modify const object
