How to redefine '[ ]' in C Language?

Question

I tried to do that with #define. But I did not be able to achieve it. I googled it too. But I couldn't find something useful. Are there anybody who knows how to do that?

I am planning to use it for a contest in Sololearn. For hash map:
someArray["getInfo"]

You can ask why are you not using C++ or C# or Python. Because I want to achieve it in C language, inshaAllah. If I will have time for this content.

Thanks

Answer 1

C does not appear to support operator overloading. Can you share your code? Perhaps we can figure an alternative way out?

Answer 2

I didn't write any line of code about hash table except '[ ]' things, because I don't want to waste my time if the result won't be natural. I just wondered that is it possible or not. Wherefore a lot of language written with C language, I do thought that there must be a way to do that. It means that the method that I thought for making a programming language is different than a real one. Thank you both for help.

Joseph Hardrock

This is where you have to choose the right tool rather than rack your brain to come up with an extension for good old C which is already available by standard for its ++ version. Although C doesn't have this feature for user-defined data structures yet it designed to overload its built-in stuff like arithmetic operators and primitive types.

Answer 4

Joseph Hardrock I think you're trying to do operator overloading. This is an object oriented concept and can't be done in a non-object-oriented language like C. Raj Gajjar as // Zohir said you need to spell Console correctly for a start for your code to work.

Answer 5

Raj Gajjar Missing e to Consol.

Answer 6

array size can only be predefined in C language if the data remains constant throughout the program, as C language do not support dynamic coding in arrays as other languages.
You can try the following method, if it doesn't work then please share the code.

#define max 100
void main()
{
int array [max]
:
:
}

Answer 7

Struct?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

{
class Program
{

{
Consol.Writeline("HEY GUYS !");
