Operator overloading allows the use of symbols to represent computations for a type. For example, a type that overloads the plus symbol `+` for addition would typically have an alternative member named `Add`. The named alternative member provides access to the same functionality as the operator. It's provided for developers who program in languages that do not support overloaded operators. This rule examines: - Implicit and explicit cast operators in a type by checking for methods named `To` and `From`. - The operators listed in the following table: | C# | Visual Basic | C++ | Alternate method name | | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | --------------------- | | + (binary) | + | + (binary) | Add | | += | += | += | Add | | & | And | & | BitwiseAnd | | &= | And= | &= | BitwiseAnd | | | | Or | | | BitwiseOr | | |= | Or= | |= | BitwiseOr | | -- | N/A | -- | Decrement | | / | / | / | Divide | | /= | /= | /= | Divide | | == | = | == | Equals | | ^ | Xor | ^ | Xor | | ^= | Xor= | ^= | Xor | | > | > | > | CompareTo or Compare | | >= | >= | >= | CompareTo or Compare | | ++ | N/A | ++ | Increment | | != | <> | != | Equals | | << | << | << | LeftShift | | <<= | <<= | <<= | LeftShift | | < | < | < | CompareTo or Compare | | <= | <= | \<= | CompareTo or Compare | | && | N/A | && | LogicalAnd | | || | N/A | || | LogicalOr | | ! | N/A | ! | LogicalNot | | % | Mod | % | Mod or Remainder | | %= | N/A | %= | Mod | | \* (binary) | \* | \* | Multiply | | \*= | N/A | \*= | Multiply | | ~ | Not | ~ | OnesComplement | | >> | >> | >> | RightShift | | >>= | N/A | >>= | RightShift | | - (binary) | - (binary) | - (binary) | Subtract | | -= | N/A | -= | Subtract | | true | IsTrue | N/A | IsTrue (Property) | | - (unary) | N/A | - | Negate | | + (unary) | N/A | + | Plus | | false | IsFalse | False | IsTrue (Property) | \*N/A means the operator cannot be overloaded in the selected language. In C#, when a binary operator is overloaded, the corresponding assignment operator, if any, is also implicitly overloaded.
