Operators

Question

can operators be overloaded to allow string and numeric concatenation?

Answer 1

Yes. I think this is possible. Just explicitly convert the numeric value to string, and concatenate it with the original string.

Answer 2

I looked into this when researching the 'endl' macro/ template (to show why newlines are faster than endl).

All the operator overload options:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operators

For one we've all seen, cout uses overloaded operators... see the definition for << (insertion):

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ostream/ostream/operator%3C%3C/
(the %3C are for <<, otherwise SoloLearn breaks the link)

Notice all the types it can handle.

I believe you can make more by adding a new signature (and + is one of the 38 supported operators)

Answer 3

Just fixed the link with url (%) encoding, sorry about that.

Answer 4

string s = string("hi") + 5;
What should s look like?
"hi5"?
"hi " 5 spaces?

Possible, but why?

Answer 5

yes it a matter of converting the numerical value to string .
