Where will we use operator overloading in game development?

Question

I'm confused with operator overloading. I like game development and I wish to know where exactly is operator overloading is used while developing a game.

Answer 1

Overwatch
What Nick here describes is "only" the function or methode overload. This is something differend from an operator overload.
Here is a link, where you can find the explanation and examples for both :

Answer 2

Hmm, maybe when you're making a command in chat that either requires a username or something

!wave or !wave someone

In this case I'd add methods like:

void Wave() and void Wave(ulong id)

Wave() just simply does the wave animation, while the other one waves at a person you specify

but it's totally up to you how you want to develop it, games always need to be tested to enhance performance and to find any bugs

Answer 3

Oh shoot, I didn't read the question right
