Beginner's Guide to Rust Operator Overloading 🦀 Rust Programming Tutorial for Developers

Rust provides several "traits" that allow you to overload the behavior of mathematical operators. You can implement custom behaviors for your user-defined structs in your Rust applications! In this video, we'll explore a couple of different techniques to use the Add trait, including an example with Rust generics, to implement custom behaviors. Be creative and explore these unique traits in your Rust programs!

Great real life examples cited! IMO this helps to understand the concept and its use. Thank you for putting the effort to make this concept clear.

Hi Trevor, thanks for the series on Rust, its been a great series and I really appreciate you going through every topic from scratch & coming up with your own example and not just one from the Rust book. I would love to see a video on lifetimes and/or a more in depth video on generics and traits that multiple generics etc. Thanks for the effort on this series 🙂

Operation overloading is definitely useful.
Coming from Scala, I miss function overloading, which I extensively use in Scala, in particular for constructors.
Rust does not allow function overloading because, being a language oriented to system programming, this would cause troubles during the link phase.
I've ended up simply erasing completely the concept of "overloading" when programming in Rust, since i would not be satisfied by being able to overload "Add" but not being able to overload "from(...)".
