Operator Overloading in C# .Net

 

Operator Overloading

  int a = 10; b = 20;,c;

C= a + b-30  (Addition)

String S1 = ‘ABC’, S2 = ‘XYZ’,S3;

S3 = S1+S2Abc xyz  (concatenation)

Assume that test is a class and t1,t2,t3 are objects then

T3 = t1+t2

gives an error ‘+’ operator is developed to use with numbers and string only BUT NOT WITH OBJECTS.  

Operator overloading is a concept of extending the functionality of an Existing operator.

All the operators are overloadable except those contains a.

That is the following operators are not overloadable.

    member Access operator

:: Ternary or conditional operator

:: property access operator

:   Inheritance operator

While overloading relational operators, these must be overloaded in ‘PAIR’.  

To overload >, < must be overloaded

To overload >=, <= must be overloaded.

To overload ==,!= must be overloaded.  

An overloaded operator must be declared as static.

Operator is a keyword.

Syntax to overloaded an operator

}  

Example:-  on overloading + operator for adding the objects  

Class EMP {

Private int Sal;

}

E1

  Sal (5000) E2

 Sal (8000) E3  

 Sal (2700)  

E1+E2+E3 = EMP(Data type)
