HI.,

Operator Overloading:
The Operator overloading is the ability to tell the compiler how to perform the certain operation when its corresponding operator is used on one or more variables.

For Example:

Using the substraction operator"-" the compiler acts differently depending upon how the operator is being used.
When it placed the left of the numeric value that is -5 the compiler consider it as the negative value.
When used between the two integer value that is 101-99 the compiler applies the substraction operation
When used the integer and the floating value that is 110-9.5 the compilersubstracts the left no from the right no.

Thanks,

Lavanya.J
