Is it possible to overload operators in Java? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You cannot do this in Java. You'd have to implement a plus or add method in your Point class.

class Point{
    public double x;
    public double y;

    public Point(int x, int y){
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
    }

    public Point add(Point other){
        this.x += other.x;
        this.y += other.y;
        return this;
    }
}

usage

Point a = new Point(1,1);
Point b = new Point(2,2);
a.add(b);  //=> (3,3)

// because method returns point, you can chain `add` calls
// e.g., a.add(b).add(c)
