To perform operator overloading, Python provides some special function or magic function that is automatically invoked when it is associated with that particular operator. For example, when we use + operator, the magic method __add__ is automatically invoked in which the operation for + operator is defined. Overloading binary + operator in Python:

BetaAs we know, the + operator can perform addition on two numbers, merge two lists, or concatenate two strings.. With some tweaks, we can use the + operator to work with user-defined objects as well. This feature in Python, which allows the same operator to have different meanings depending on the context is called operator overloading.

BetaNote that though there is a proposal, logical operators cannot be overloaded in Python as of now. Method Names for Operator Overloading. There are specific method names for operator overloading in Python. It is a unique name for each operator. The user can provide a custom definition for the method with that name inside a user-defined class.

BetaIn this example, the __add__ method is defined to handle the + operator for Vector objects. When v1 + v2 is executed, the __add__ method is called, which returns a new Vector object representing the sum of the vectors.. Overloading Comparison Operators. Now let’s see how to overload comparison operators. We’ll extend our Vector class to include equality (==) and less than (<) comparisons.

BetaOperator Overloading is the phenomenon of giving alternate/different meaning to an action performed by an operator beyond their predefined operational function. Operator overloading is also called Operator Ad-hoc Polymorphism. Python operators work for built-in classes. But the same operator expresses differently with different types.

BetaThe operator overloading in Python means provide extended meaning beyond their predefined operational meaning. Such as, we use the "+" operator for adding two integers as well as joining two strings or merging two lists. We can achieve this as the "+" operator is overloaded by the "int" class and "str" class.

BetaCustomized Logic: Operator Overloading in Python allows you to implement logic specific to your class using Boolean operators. This customization can lead to more intuitive and expressive code. Readability : By overloading Boolean operators, you can create code that reads more like natural language, making it easier to understand the intent of the operations.

BetaOperator overloading in Python is a powerful feature that enables custom definition of behavior for operators when applied to user-defined objects. By implementing special methods within classes, developers can extend the functionality of operators to suit the semantics of their custom data types.

Beta2. Creating a Custom Class and Implementing Operator Overloading: You can specify how your class interacts with the Python operators (+, -, *, /, etc.) by developing a custom class and implementing operator overloading. This facilitates easy interaction with typical Python functions and makes your code more understandable and legible.
