Try this:\
**syntax:**\

```
type class-name::operator[](int index){//operations}
```

\
**e.g.:**

```
const int SIZE=5;class arraytype{int a[SIZE];public:arraytype(){int i;for(i=0;i<SIZE;i++) a[i]=i;}int operator[ ](int i){return a[i]; }};int main( ){arraytype ob;int i;for(i=0;i<SIZE;i++)     cout<<ob[i]<<" ";return 0;  }
```
