This is where I got my syntax from: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operators They are my first search for anything C++ as most things in the language these days weren't there when I learned it. Since my C++ was for embedded systems, we didn't use a lot of the features added after that. Other places that might be fine: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operator-overloading-c/ https://www.programiz.com/cpp-programming/operator-overloading

I started with C in 1975. C with classes in 1980 (coworker was student of Bjarne Stroustrup.) This became renamed as C++ in 1983.

Do you have any code you are trying to make work as this is way too big of a topic to answer in a post. I've got a sample here: https://code.sololearn.com/cStdw0OPtPxG If you ask about a line or two at a time, I should be able to help you.

I learned Fortran and Cobol in 1973, having a job programming for my college.

John Wells I now have a sense of what the younger members here might think when I tell them I've been professionally programming since 1996, which was near or before when many here were born. You've been doing this since the year I was born. đŸ‘¶ You, sir, truly are a legendary O.G. 👑 😎

Nice! Are you still professionally active today? If so, what are you doing these days?

You probably know that strings and ints behave differently when you add them: "1" + "1" - > 11 1 + 1 - > 2 By operator overload you can define for your own types, what should happen when you use an operator like for example +.
