Operator Overloading ​

Operator overloading has been added to Jule but has some restrictions. These restrictions are to reduce complexity and preserve simplicity. In Jule, constructs support operator overloading via reserved methods. Defined reserved methods can be used both as methods and implicitly when used with the corresponding operator.

Operators must always return the structure itself if they return a value. Method overloading is also not supported for binary operators, meaning a binary operator can only add support for a single data type.

Comparison operators == and != are applied to all structures by the compiler by default. This implementation is based on comparison of all areas of structures.

Overloading == Operator ​

To overload the == operator, the reserved Eq method must be defined.

Overloading != Operator ​

You cannot able to overload the != operator. This operator always will be imlemented by compiler. In logical, not equals operator is always equals to !(x == y). Therefore compiler will implement this operator in this logic for you.

Overloading > Operator ​

To overload the > operator, the reserved Gt method must be defined.

Overloading >= Operator ​

To overload the >= operator, the reserved GtEq method must be defined.

Overloading < Operator ​

To overload the < operator, the reserved Lt method must be defined.

Overloading <= Operator ​

To overload the <= operator, the reserved LtEq method must be defined.

Overloading >> Operator ​

To overload the >> operator, the reserved Shr method must be defined.

Overloading << Operator ​

To overload the << operator, the reserved Shl method must be defined.

Overloading + Operator ​

To overload the + operator, the reserved Add method must be defined.

Overloading - Operator ​

To overload the - operator, the reserved Sub method must be defined.

Overloading / Operator ​

To overload the / operator, the reserved Div method must be defined.

Overloading * Operator ​

To overload the * operator, the reserved Mul method must be defined.

Overloading % Operator ​

To overload the % operator, the reserved Mod method must be defined.

Overloading & Operator ​

To overload the & operator, the reserved BitAnd method must be defined.

Overloading | Operator ​

To overload the | operator, the reserved BitOr method must be defined.

Overloading ^ Operator ​

To overload the ^ operator, the reserved BitXor method must be defined.

Overloading Unary ^ Operator ​

To overload the unary ^ operator, the reserved BitNot method must be defined.

Overloading += Operator ​

To overload the += operator, the reserved AddAssign method must be defined.

Overloading -= Operator ​

To overload the -= operator, the reserved SubAssign method must be defined.

Overloading /= Operator ​

To overload the /= operator, the reserved DivAssign method must be defined.

Overloading *= Operator ​

To overload the *= operator, the reserved MulAssign method must be defined.

Overloading %= Operator ​

To overload the %= operator, the reserved ModAssign method must be defined.

Overloading <<= Operator ​

To overload the <<= operator, the reserved ShlAssign method must be defined.

Overloading >>= Operator ​

To overload the >>= operator, the reserved ShrAssign method must be defined.

Overloading |= Operator ​

To overload the |= operator, the reserved BitOrAssign method must be defined.

Overloading &= Operator ​

To overload the &= operator, the reserved BitAndAssign method must be defined.

Overloading ^= Operator ​

To overload the ^= operator, the reserved BitXorAssign method must be defined.
