Troll Alert: Operator overloading a mistake?

Something that calls itself Paul Fame wrote:
In my University course teaching Java, my lecturer just claimed that
operator overloading in C++ was a mistake and that
Java's lack of operator overloading was a "big step forward".

Can anyone else provide counter-arguments to this,
to prove I am still sane?


This is an obvious troll.
Please ignore it.

I did look for the signs before replying, but didn't see it as necessarily a
troll. I don't regard the e-mail address as evidence, since I use a junk
address myself.

My troll-spotting education must have some way to go.

I think that Paul Fame should ask its lecturer
to post its assertions to comp.lang.c++ directly. ;-)

This notion that you are going to give Paul Fame "ammunition "
to fire back at its lecturer seems a bit absurd to me.
Don't you agree? ;-)

I concede that if I wanted to post a troll, this is probably the kind of
thing I'd post. I suppose that I don't like to assume a troll if there's any
chance that it isn't.

Hello, For several reasons I want to replace the built-in memory management with some custom built. The mem management itlsef is not subject to my question - it's ok to the point that I have nice and working allocation deallocation routines. However, I don't want to loose the nice extras of new operator, like - constructor calling, typecasting the result, keeping the array size, etc. For another bunch of reasons, outside this scope I...

I have a question on operator overloading that I can't find an answer to in several guides (even google has failed me). I'm currently making my way through several C++ guides, trying to become familiar with the language's features. The book I'm in the middle of right now says an operator+ function cannot be const. For example, it seems to imply: class String { public:

Hello, I've created a class to store 2 dimensional matrices, and I've been trying to overload the operator, so access to the elements of the matrix is easy. I have 3 private variables, _m, _row and _col which are respectively the array to store the data in, the number of rows and the number of columns. _m is of type T, and is size _row * _col * sizeof (T). I've managed to overload the subscript operator like this:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
