    overload same Operator twice

    This is My overload functions for int
    Code:
    Point operator+=(int);
    Code:
    Point Point::operator+=(int inc){
    	this->x += inc;
    	this->y += inc;
    	return *this;
    }
    Now I want to overload these functions to also work as
    Code:
    Point operator+=(const Point&);
    Can I do it Simply just as I did for int ??

    Try it, and see if it works.
    There are 10 types of people in this world, those who cringed when reading the beginning of this sentence and those who salivated to how superior they are for understanding something as simple as binary.

    Yes I've tried
    I've Pasted My Total Code on http://phpfi.com/246140
    On line 23 and 24
    Code:
    Point operator+=(int);
    Point operator+=(const Point&);
    Line 37-46
    Code:
    Point Point::operator+=(int inc){
    	this->x += inc;
    	this->y += inc;
    	return *this;
    }
    Point Point::operator+=(const Point pt){
    	this->x += pt.x;
    	this->y += pt.y;
    	return *this;
    }
    It fired Errors
    Code:
    oops_member_op_overload.cpp:42: error: prototype for ‘Point Point::operator+=(Point)’ does not match any in class ‘Point’
    oops_member_op_overload.cpp:24: error: candidates are: Point Point::operator+=(const Point&)
    oops_member_op_overload.cpp:37: error:                 Point Point::operator+=(int)

    The errors tell you exactly what the problem is. The code on line 42 doesn't match any of the functions declared in your class. You have two operator+= functions declared in your class, but neither of them take a const Point. You have to make the definition match the declaration.

    Thanks I need to use
    Code:
    Point Point::operator+=(const Point& pt){
    	this->x += pt.x;
    	this->y += pt.y;
    	return *this;
    }
