#include <iostream> using namespace std; class Employee { int id; string dept; public: Employee(){ id=0; dept="unknown"; } Employee(int x){ id=x; dept="unknown dept"; } Employee(int x,string dep){ id=x; dept=dep; } void display(){ cout<<"id="<<id<<endl; cout<<"dept="<<dept<<endl; } }; int main(){ Employee emp; Employee emp1(101); Employee emp2(102,"Programmer"); emp.display(); emp1.display(); emp2.display(); return 0; } |
Output:

id=0 dept=unknown id=101 dept=unknown dept id=102 dept=Programmer |
