I have an old C# library that I am converting to Boo, and it uses operator overloading. In the interest of not to getting into the why of that, I am looking for a way do the same thing in Boo.
This takes the form:
public static bool operator <(Duration duration, TimeSpan timespan) {...}
But, Boo uses a different form of operator overloading, and does not have an 'operator' keyword.
public static def op_LessThan(duration as Duration, timespan as TimeSpan) as bool:
pass
(From http://boo.codehaus.org/Operator+overloading)
These binary operators can be overloaded:
- op_Addition
- op_Subtraction
- op_Multiply
- op_Division
- op_Modulus
- op_Exponentiation
- op_Equality
- op_LessThan
- op_LessThanOrEqual
- op_GreaterThan
- op_GreaterThanOrEqual
- op_Match
- op_NotMatch
- op_Member
- op_NotMember
- op_BitwiseOr
- op_BitwiseAnd
But I don't see anything like op_NotEqual(!=) in that list. Are these methods equivalent to the above C# code? And if so, what would be the equivalent of
public static bool operator !=(Duration duration, TimeSpan timespan) {...}
