Introduction
In this lab, we explore operator overloading in Rust and how it can be achieved through traits. Operators in Rust can be overloaded using traits, which allows them to perform different tasks based on their input arguments. The +
operator, for example, is syntactic sugar for the add
method and can be used by any implementor of the Add
trait. The traits that overload operators, including Add
, can be found in core::ops
. The provided Rust code demonstrates how to overload the +
operator for custom types Foo
and Bar
, resulting in different output types FooBar
and BarFoo
respectively.
Note: If the lab does not specify a file name, you can use any file name you want. For example, you can use
main.rs
, compile and run it withrustc main.rs && ./main
.
