please explain what you are trying to mutliply and what kind of object. this way we may help

Answer 4

@Tashi N Yes, I've checked language tags. But if we are still talking about operators overloading it is not possible in Java and possible in C++ so I've mentioned C++.

Answer 5

@Tashi N As far as I know it's called "overloading" (not overriding). It's in most context... and surely for C++ where operator overloading exists. "Overriding" is a term for virtual functions/methods overriding.
