  2. Operator overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_overloading

    Operator overloading has often been criticized [2] because it allows programmers to reassign the semantics of operators depending on the types of their operands. For example, the use of the << operator in C++ a << b shifts the bits in the variable a left by b bits if a and b are of an integer type, but if a is an output stream then the above ...

  3. Operator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_(computer...

    In languages that support operator overloading by the programmer (such as C++) but have a limited set of operators, operator overloading is often used to define customized uses for operators. In the example IF ORDER_DATE > "12/31/2011" AND ORDER_DATE < "01/01/2013" THEN CONTINUE ELSE STOP , the operators are: > (greater than), AND and < (less ...

  4. Ad hoc polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_polymorphism

    The previous section notwithstanding, there are other ways in which ad hoc polymorphism can work out. Consider for example the Smalltalk language. In Smalltalk, the overloading is done at run time, as the methods ("function implementation") for each overloaded message ("overloaded function") are resolved when they are about to be executed.

  5. Overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overloading

    The term overloading may refer to: Function overloading , a software engineering process whereby multiple functions of different types are defined with the same name Operator overloading , a software engineering process whereby operators (e.g. + or - ) are treated as polymorphic functions having different behaviors depending on the types of ...

  6. Function overloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

    In some programming languages, function overloading or method overloading is the ability to create multiple functions of the same name with different implementations. Calls to an overloaded function will run a specific implementation of that function appropriate to the context of the call, allowing one function call to perform different tasks ...

  7. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    The binary logical operators returned a Boolean value in early versions of JavaScript, but now they return one of the operands instead. The left–operand is returned, if it can be evaluated as : false , in the case of conjunction : ( a && b ), or true , in the case of disjunction : ( a || b ); otherwise the right–operand is returned.

  8. Name mangling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_mangling

    C++ also has complex language features, such as classes, templates, namespaces, and operator overloading, that alter the meaning of specific symbols based on context or usage. Meta-data about these features can be disambiguated by mangling (decorating) the name of a symbol. Because the name-mangling systems for such features are not ...

  9. Double dispatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dispatch

    In software engineering, double dispatch is a special form of multiple dispatch, and a mechanism that dispatches a function call to different concrete functions depending on the runtime types of two objects involved in the call.
