1. Most fundamental data types have pre-defined operators associated with them. For example, the C++ data type int, together with the operators +, -, *, and /, provides an implementation of the mathematical concepts of an integer. To make a user-defined data type as natural as a fundamental data type, the user-defined data type must be associated with the appropriate set of operators.

Is it possible to do operator overloading in c?

No. Operator and/or function overloading is only a C++ thing.


Operator overloading is possible in java or not?

Java does not support opperator overloading, so the answer to your question is: none.


C coding for operator overloading?

C does not support operator overloading. If you mean C++ operator overloading, it depends on exactly what you wanted to do. If you wanted to '+' to strings, then you could write: string operator+(string a, string b) { // do something }


When an operator works on various type of operands is called?

operator overloading


How operator overloading differ from function overloading?

Function overloading is multiple definition with different signatures(the parameters should be different) for the same function. The parameter list have to be different in each definition. The compiler will not accept if the return type alone is changed. Operator overloading is defining a function for a particular operator. The operator loading function can not be overloaded through function overloading.


How can you differentiate overloading of pre-fix and post-fix increment operator?

The prefix increment operator is overloaded as operator++() while the postfix increment operator is overloaded as operator++(int).


What is operator overloading?

I think you mean operation overlord??? It is the American, Canadian and British offensive on Europe in World War 2. They landed in Normandy on 6th June 1944 (Commonly called D-Day, Day of Days or Deliverance Day) and progressed throughout France liberating Paris on the 25th August. This allowed the allies a foothold in Europe.


What are the disadvantage of operator overloading?

The only disadvantage of operator overloading is when it is used non-intuitively. All operators must behave with predictable results, thus it makes no sense to implement the plus (+) operator so that it behaves like a subtract (-) operator, or a multiply (*) operator, or indeed anything other than the intuitive sum of two objects.


What is an operator overloading in C?

one function but multiple behaviours depending on the parameters


What are the restriction that are applied to operator overloading?

Java does not support user defined operator overloading.The operator '+' is overloaded in Java and can be used for adding both numbers and Strings.


How do you find largest of two object using operator overloading in c?

I will not use operator overloading in C# to do anything. Operator overloading may lead to one operator has more than 1 semantic meaning. For example, we know 1 + 2 yields 3, and "1" + 2 yields "12". I do not like this overloading of the operator + being used for addition in Number hierarchy, while as the concatenation in strings. That is, one operator (+) has 2 significant semantics.And the question "find largest of two object" is too vague - what do you mean "largest"? and object? We know apple and orange are 2 objects, but how do you compare them, and find the largest one?????? (size, price or what???)


Why java not support operator overloading?

Maybe because Sun said so. We have to bear with so many other idiosyncrasies too. But I guess that comes with every language. There were two major reasons why operator overloading wasn't allowed in Java: "cleanliness" and compiler complexity. The main reason was the first, a personal preference choice made by Java's creator, James Gosling. Operator overloading, while useful, can be exceedingly confusing, much more so than method overloading. Given the human tendency to assign specific meanings to single symbols, it is hard to get programmers to wrap their heads around multiple meanings for operators. What this means is that there is a marked increase in programming errors when a language supports operator overloading. Since practically the same benefit can be obtained via methods, the Java designers decided that the increased programmer mistake rate was not worth supporting operator overloading. From a Java compiler (e.g. javac) design standpoint, supporting operator overloading is considerably more difficult than method overloading, requiring a more complex compiler.
