C++ Infixes

DeadBankClerk

i have googled about for the last few minutes, and i can't find anything on it.

Can you make your own custom infixes in c++?

I have a class Vector and class quaterion and i want to be able to type:

Vector a,b,c;
.....
c = a + b;

instead of

c = a.add(b);

yeah, I think what your looking for is operator overloading.
Something like this:

Vector Vector::operator+ ( const Vector& v1, const Vector& v2 ){
      Vector v;

      v.x = v1.x + v2.x ;
      v.y = v1.y + v2.y ;
      v.z = v1.z + v2.z ;

      return v;
}

Thanks a million Jazz.

BTW the freaky thing is that your code went into mine without any editing

My class Vector has 3 public doubles called x,y,z.
