The operator keyword declares a function specifying what operator-symbol means when applied to instances of a class. This gives the operator more than one meaning, or 'overloads' it. The compiler distinguishes between the different meanings of an operator by examining the types of its operands.

Remarks
Me singing with my family The Wallens at MAGMA (Mid America Gospel Music Association) We sang 'Operator' and my other side of the family The Lesters came out and sang with us at the end.

You can redefine the function of most built-in operators globally or on a class-by-class basis. Overloaded operators are implemented as functions.
The name of an overloaded operator is operatorx, where x is the operator as it appears in the following table. For example, to overload the addition operator, you define a function called operator+. Similarly, to overload the addition/assignment operator, +=, define a function called operator+=.

1 Two versions of the unary increment and decrement operators exist: preincrement and postincrement.
See General Rules for Operator Overloading for more information. The constraints on the various categories of overloaded operators are described in the following topics:
Increment and Decrement.
The operators shown in the following table cannot be overloaded. The table includes the preprocessor symbols # and ##.
Nonredefinable Operators
| Operator | Name |
|---|---|
| . | Member selection |
| .* | Pointer-to-member selection |
| :: | Scope resolution |
| ? : | Conditional |
| # | Preprocessor convert to string |
| ## | Preprocessor concatenate |
Although overloaded operators are usually called implicitly by the compiler when they are encountered in code, they can be invoked explicitly the same way as any member or nonmember function is called:
Example
The following example overloads the + operator to add two complex numbers and returns the result.
