Re: [Vala] Operator overloading

[Laszlo Pandy <laszlok2 gmail com>]

Java does not support operator overloading.
Python does:

class Complex:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
    def __add__(self, other):
        return Complex(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)

Even though Python already has complex numbers build into the
language, this is used for types in the standard library such as
decimal, which stores numbers as base-10 to avoid errors that come
with converting base-10 to floating point. As you can imagine, this is
extremely useful for accounting applications.
