Overload operator in F#: (/)

Question

I would like to overload the (/) operator in F# for strings and preserve the meaning for numbers.

/// Combines to path strings
let (/) path1 path2 = Path.Com         


        

Answer 1

Actually you can.

Try this:

open System.IO

type DivExtension = DivExtension with
    static member inline (=>) (x             , DivExtension) = fun y -> x / y
    static member        (=>) (x             , DivExtension) = fun y -> Path.Combine(x, y)
    static member        (=>) (x:DivExtension, DivExtension) = fun DivExtension -> x

let inline (/) x y = (x => DivExtension) y
