A normal C++ operator that acts in special ways on newly defined data types is said to be A. glorified B. encapsulated C. classified D. overloaded

glorified
encapsulated
classified
overloaded

The correct answer is D. overloaded.

An overloaded operator is a C++ operator that has been defined to work with more than one type of data. For example, the + operator can be overloaded to add two integers, two floats, or an integer and a float.

When an operator is overloaded, it is said to be “acting in special ways on newly defined data types.” This is because the operator is being used to perform a different operation on a different type of data than it was originally designed to do.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe what an overloaded operator is.

  • A glorified operator is an operator that is used in a way that is not consistent with its original purpose. For example, the + operator could be used to add two strings, but this would be considered a misuse of the operator.
  • An encapsulated operator is an operator that is hidden from the user. This means that the user cannot access the operator directly, but must instead use a function to call the operator.
  • A classified operator is an operator that is categorized according to its type. For example, there are arithmetic operators, logical operators, and relational operators.
