Overloading of Operators

In C++, the concept of programmer-defined types (classes) is an extension of the concept of built-in numeric types. You can define variables of programmer-defined types using the same syntax as for simple numeric variables. Similar to built-in types, you can use object instances of programmer-defined types as array elements or as data members of even more-complex types. You can pass objects of programmer-defined types as parameters and return them from functions. You can set pointers and references to programmer-defined values using the same syntax as for built-in values. You can define pointers as constant pointers. You can define pointers and references as pointers and references to constant values using the same syntax ...
