Operator overloading in Java

Question

Please can you tell me if it is possible to overload operators in Java? If it is used anywhere in Java could you please tell me about it.

Answer 1

Java does not allow operator overloading. The preferred approach is to define a method on your class to perform the action: a.add(b) instead of a + b. You can see a summary of the other bits Java left out from C like languages here: Features Removed from C and C++
