Operator overloading is an unusual language feature that is quite important in C++, enabling you to specify implementations of the standard operators for your user-defined types. You can overload a wide variety of operators, each having a standard meaning for built-in types that can be mimicked in custom types. If used correctly, this can lead to natural, elegant-looking code. Begin this course by learning how to overload simple operators and explore the restrictions around overloading operators. Then, discover how to overload operators as member functions of a class, providing easy access to the internal state of the object. Finally, focus on identifying situations where the member function implementation will not work and investigate best practices of operator overloading.
