Java operator overload
In c++, we can perform the operator overloading. But Java is also a Object oriented language. So why java doesn’t support overloading?
Actually, it does support operator overloading… of a very limited, built-in only nature. For instance “+” is overloaded for String’s in addition to the usual arithmetic.
Of course, most people want to know why Java does not support user-defined operator overloading. 🙂 The simplest answer seems to be that the Java creators did not, at the time, see any clean way to add it to the language without making Java a mess (like C++) in the process.
