# C++ Input/Output Operator Overloading
[ C++ Overloading Operators and Functions](#)
C++ can use the stream extraction operator `>>` and the stream insertion operator `<>` and the insertion operator `<<`.
## Example
```cpp
#include
using namespace std;
class Distance {
private:
int feet; // 0 to infinity
int inches; // 0 to 12
public:
// Required constructors
Distance() {
feet = 0;
inches = 0;
}
Distance(int f, int i) {
feet = f;
inches = i;
}
friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &output, const Distance &D) {
output << "F : " << D.feet << " I : " <>(istream &input, Distance &D) {
input >> D.feet >> D.inches;
return input;
}
};
int main() {
Distance D1(11, 10), D2(5, 11), D3;
cout << "Enter the value of object : " <> D3;
cout << "First Distance : " << D1 << endl;
cout << "Second Distance :" << D2 << endl;
cout << "Third Distance :" << D3 << endl;
return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
Enter the value of object :
70
10
First Distance : F : 11 I : 10
Second Distance :F : 5 I : 11
Third Distance :F : 70 I : 10
