Operator Overloading in C#

Operator overloading allows developers to redefine the behavior of operators (like +, -, *, ==) for custom classes and structs. It makes objects behave like built-in types when using operators.

Key Points:

• Uses the operator keyword.
• Must be defined inside a class or struct.
• At least one parameter must be a user-defined type.

C# Example:

class CarSpeed { public int Speed { get; set; } public CarSpeed(int speed) { Speed = speed; } public static CarSpeed operator +(CarSpeed c1, CarSpeed c2) { return new CarSpeed(c1.Speed + c2.Speed); } } class Program { static void Main() { CarSpeed car1 = new CarSpeed(60); CarSpeed car2 = new CarSpeed(40); CarSpeed total = car1 + car2; Console.WriteLine("Total Speed: " + total.Speed); } }

Output:

Total Speed: 100
