Method
Operator_AddRight
Description
Used to overload the + operator, providing custom functionality. Operator_AddRight is the same as Operator Add but the implicit Self instance is on the right instead of the left in the addition.
Notes
Create an Operator_AddRight function in a class to specify the functionality of the + operator for that class and the Self instance is on the right.
The ordinary (left) methods are always preferred; the Right version is used only if there is no legal left version.
Important
This is not currently supported for Android.
Sample code
Suppose you have a class, Vector, that can store a vector of modest size. To define the + operator for this class, create a method of the Vector class called Operator_AddRight.
The Vector class has two integer properties, x and y.
Operator_AddRight is defined as:
Function Operator_AddRight(lhs As Vector) As Vector
' lhs stands for left-hand-side, the vector to be added to Self
Var ret As New Vector ' the sum of the two vectors
ret.x = lhs.x + Self.x
ret.y = lhs.y + Self.y
Return ret
End Function
Compatibility
All project types on all supported operating systems.
