Question

Might there be a way to directly access commonly used operators, such as the arithmetic operators or the stream operators, with enumeration types? For example, would overloading these operators be a good solution? Why or why not? i need an explantion not a code . thank you

Answer 1

OVERLOADING IN HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGES LIKE CPP, JAVA , PYTHON IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO FUNCTIONS BUT ALSO OPERATORS LIKE ARTHIMETIC , ASSIGNMENT OR STREAM OPERATORS .

THIS MEANS THESE OPERATORS USAGE IS NOT CONFINED TO ONLY THE BUILT-IN TYPES BUT ALSO USED ON CUSTOM CLASSES OR ENUMERATIONS .

NOW OVERLOADING THESE OPERATORS CAN MAKE IT EASIER TO ACCESS THESE OPERATORS IN USER DEFINED CLASSES OR ENUMERATIONS.

( EX : IN A STRING CLASS , + OPERATOR CAN BE OVERLOADED TO PERFORM CONCATENATION OPERATION )

OPERATOR OVERLOADING CAN MAKE IT EASIER TO PERFORM OPERATIONS ON THE OBJECTS OF USER DEFINED CLASSES . AND THUS MAKE THE CODE MORE ROBUST.

BUT ONE SHORT-COMING OF THESE APPROACH IS IT MAKES THE CODE COMPLICATED IN CASE OF LARGE CLASS DEFINATIONS,
