But if they aren't helping, then let me explain.
(First of all make sure you are familiar with classes and objects)

Suppose you have defined a class. What happens on operator overloading is that you are defining how to handle different operations (mathematic or bitwise)

For example - assume that you have a class called Money - which holds data about money. It have a field called value.
Suppose that we want to add two monetary values we can do following

int sum = money1.value + money2.value

But the problem here is that we are getting.an integer value instead of Money objects.
Then operator overloading comes in handy

Money operator+(Money other) {
Money newVal;
newVal.value = this->value+other.value;
return newVal;

after that we can simply perform money1 + money2 and get a Money object as a result.
