Overloaded Operators

• Operator overloading is a feature in some programming languages used to redefine or “Overload” the standard behaviour of operators to work with user-defined data types.

​

• React.js DOES NOT natively support operator overloading as part of its core functionality. However, developers can simulate operator overloading by using methods and custom functions, but this does not change the inherent behaviour of operators themselves (Javascript: Operator Overloading - Stack Overflow, n.d.).

​

• There are experimental implementations and proposals related to operator overloading in JavaScript. For instance, GraalVM's JavaScript engine provides an early implementation of an operator overloading proposal that allows developers to overload certain operators for custom classes (Operator Overloading, n.d.).
