Program to find sum of two numbers in c++

C++ Program to add two numbers

BY CHAITANYA SINGH | FILED UNDER: C++ PROGRAMS

In this tutorial, we will see three ways to add two numbers in C++. 1) Simple C++ program to add two numbers 2) adding numbers using function overloading 3) adding numbers using class and functions.

1) Simple C++ program to add two numbers

In this program we are asking user to input two integer numbers and then we are adding them and displaying the result on screen.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){

//Declaring two integer variables

int num1, num2;

/* cout displays the string provided in the

* double quotes as it is on the screen

*/

cout<<"Enter first integer number: ";

/* cin is used to capture the user input

* and assign it to the variable.

*/

cin>>num1;

cout<<"Enter second integer number: ";

cin>>num2;

cout<<"Sum of entered numbers is: "<<(num1+num2);

return 0;

}

Output:

Enter first integer number: 10

Enter second integer number: 20

Sum of entered numbers is: 30

2) C++ program to add two numbers using function overloading

In this example, we will see how to add two numbers using function overloading. Function overloading is a feature that allows us to have more than one function having same name but different number, type of sequence of arguments. Here we are defining three functions for the same purpose addition, based on the data type of arguments different function is called.

/* Function overloading example. Where we can have

* more than one functions with same name but different

* number, type or sequence of arguments

*/

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int sum(int, int);

float sum(float, float);

float sum(int, float);

int main(){

int num1, num2, x;

float num3, num4, y;

cout<<"Enter two integer numbers: ";

cin>>num1>>num2;

//This will call the first function

cout<<"Result: "<<sum(num1, num2)<< endl;

cout<<"Enter two float numbers: ";

cin>>num3>>num4;

//This will call the second function

cout<<"Result: " <<sum(num3, num4)<< endl;

cout<<"Enter one int and one float number: ";

cin>>x>>y;

//This will call the third function

cout<<"Result: " <<sum(x, y)<< endl;

return 0;

}

int sum(int a, int b){

return a+b;

}

float sum(float a, float b){

return a+b;

}

/* Remember that sum of int and float is float

* so the return type of this function is float

*/

float sum(int a, float b){

return a+b;

}

Output:

Enter two integer numbers: 21 88

Result: 109

Enter two float numbers: 10.2 30.7

Result: 40.9

Enter one int and one float number: 20 16.4

Result: 36.4
