This lesson has lots of good examples https://www.sololearn.com/learn/CPlusPlus/1901/?ref=app But if they aren't helping, then let me explain. (First of all make sure you are familiar with classes and objects) Suppose you have defined a class. What happens on operator overloading is that you are defining how to handle different operations (mathematic or bitwise) For example - assume that you have a class called Money - which holds data about money. It have a field called value. Suppose that we want to add two monetary values we can do following int sum = money1.value + money2.value But the problem here is that we are getting.an integer value instead of Money objects. Then operator overloading comes in handy Money operator+(Money other) { Money newVal; newVal.value = this->value+other.value; return newVal; after that we can simply perform money1 + money2 and get a Money object as a result.
