This topic is about Binary Operators Overloading.
The following table shows the list of binary operators and its purpose.
Function Name | Operator | Purpose |
---|---|---|
opBinary | + | Add |
opBinary | – | subtract |
opBinary | * | multiply |
opBinary | / | divide |
opBinary | % | remainder of |
opBinary | ^^ | to the power of |
opBinary | & | bitwise and |
opBinary | | | bitwise or |
opBinary | ^ | bitwise xor |
opBinary | << | left-shift |
opBinary | >> | right-shift |
opBinary | >>> | logical right-shift |
opBinary | ~ | concatenate |
opBinary | in | whether contained in |
An example is shown below which explains how to overload an binary operator.
Example
import std.stdio; class Box { public: double getVolume() { return length * breadth * height; } void setLength( double len ) { length = len; } void setBreadth( double bre ) { breadth = bre; } void setHeight( double hei ) { height = hei; } Box opBinary(string op)(Box b) { if(op == "+") { Box box = new Box(); box.length = this.length + b.length; box.breadth = this.breadth + b.breadth; box.height = this.height + b.height; return box; } } private: double length; // Length of a box double breadth; // Breadth of a box double height; // Height of a box }; // Main function for the program void main( ) { Box box1 = new Box(); // Declare Box1 of type Box Box box2 = new Box(); // Declare Box2 of type Box Box box3 = new Box(); // Declare Box3 of type Box double volume = 0.0; // Store the volume of a box here // box 1 specification box1.setLength(6.0); box1.setBreadth(7.0); box1.setHeight(5.0); // box 2 specification box2.setLength(12.0); box2.setBreadth(13.0); box2.setHeight(10.0); // volume of box 1 volume = box1.getVolume(); writeln("Volume of Box1 : ", volume); // volume of box 2 volume = box2.getVolume(); writeln("Volume of Box2 : ", volume); // Add two object as follows: box3 = box1 + box2; // volume of box 3 volume = box3.getVolume(); writeln("Volume of Box3 : ", volume); }
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −
Volume of Box1 : 210 Volume of Box2 : 1560 Volume of Box3 : 5400
