+% Operators and Overloading
+
+<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
+
+> Rust does not allow you to create your own operators or overload arbitrary operators, but the operations and corresponding traits listed in `std::ops` can be overloaded by implementing the traits associated with the operator.
+
+```rust
+use std::ops::Add;
+
+#[derive(Debug,PartialEq)]
+struct Point {
+ x: i32,
+ y: i32,
+}
+
+impl Add for Point {
+ type Output = Point;
+
+ fn add(self, other: Point) -> Point {
+ Point {
+ x: self.x + other.x,
+ y: self.y + other.y,
+ }
+ }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ assert_eq!(Point { x: 1, y: 0 } + Point { x: 2, y: 3 },
+ Point { x: 3, y: 3 });
+}
+```
