Answer:
You cannot create a new operator through operator overloading. You can only redefine an existing operator, with certain limitations. As an example, for a class of complex numbers, having a real and an imaginary part, you might want an addition operator. This is the skeleton of code to do that. I only show the operator, not any constructors or other operators or methods, etc.
class complex {
private:
double real, imaginary;
public:
complex operator+ (complex operand) {
complex temp;
temp.real = this.real + operand.real;
temp.imaginary = this.imaginary + operand.imaginary;
return temp;
}
};
The above answer is for C++. Since this question is also categorized in Java Programming it's important to note that operator overloading is not currently possible in Java.
