From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
overloading symbol to represent operators with different argument types, e.g. "-", used either, as a {monadic} operator to negate an expression, or as a {dyadic} operator to return the difference between two expressions. Another example is "+" used to add either integers or {floating-point} numbers. Overloading is also known as ad-hoc {polymorphism}. User-defined operator overloading is provided by several modern programming languages, e.g. {C++}'s {class} system and the {functional programming} language {Haskell}'s {type class}es. (1995-04-30) |
