Available Operators

Not all operators are available for overloading, Here is a list of available operators for overloading.

Arithmetic Operators:

• + (addition)

• - (subtraction)

• * (multiplication)

• / (division)

• % (modulus)

Assignment Operators:

• = (assignment)

• += (addition assignment)

• -= (subtraction assignment)

• *= (multiplication assignment)

• /= (division assignment)

• %= (modulus assignment)

Comparison Operators:

• < (less than)

• > (greater than)

• <= (less than or equal to)

• >= (greater than or equal to)

• == (equal to)

• != (not equal to)

Increment/Decrement Operators:

• ++ (increment)

• -- (decrement)

Logical Operators:

• && (logical AND)

• || (logical OR)

• ! (logical NOT)

Bitwise Operators:

• & (bitwise AND)

• | (bitwise OR)

• ^ (bitwise XOR)

• ~ (bitwise NOT)

• << (left shift)

• >> (right shift)

Member Access Operators:

• . (dot operator)

• -> (arrow operator)

Subscript Operator:

• [] (subscript operator)

Function Call Operator:

• () (function call operator)

Comma Operator:

• , (comma operator)

New and Delete Operators:

• new (memory allocation)

• delete (memory deallocation)

Important Notes

• You cannot overload operators for built-in types like int, float, etc.

• Overloaded operators must have at least one operand of user-defined type.

• The return type of an overloaded operator function is usually the same as the left-hand operand's type.

• Overloading can be done for both member functions and global functions.

By understanding these overloadable operators and their guidelines, you can effectively extend the behavior of your custom classes in C++.
