//! Overloadable operators. //! //! Implementing these traits allows you to overload certain operators. //! //! Some of these traits are imported by the prelude, so they are available in //! every Rust program. Only operators backed by traits can be overloaded. For //! example, the addition operator (`+`) can be overloaded through the [`Add`] //! trait, but since the assignment operator (`=`) has no backing trait, there //! is no way of overloading its semantics. Additionally, this module does not //! provide any mechanism to create new operators. If traitless overloading or //! custom operators are required, you should look toward macros or compiler //! plugins to extend Rust's syntax. //! //! Implementations of operator traits should be unsurprising in their //! respective contexts, keeping in mind their usual meanings and //! [operator precedence]. For example, when implementing [`Mul`], the operation //! should have some resemblance to multiplication (and share expected //! properties like associativity). //! //! Note that the `&&` and `||` operators short-circuit, i.e., they only //! evaluate their second operand if it contributes to the result. Since this //! behavior is not enforceable by traits, `&&` and `||` are not supported as //! overloadable operators. //! //! Many of the operators take their operands by value. In non-generic //! contexts involving built-in types, this is usually not a problem. //! However, using these operators in generic code, requires some //! attention if values have to be reused as opposed to letting the operators //! consume them. One option is to occasionally use [`clone`]. //! Another option is to rely on the types involved providing additional //! operator implementations for references. For example, for a user-defined //! type `T` which is supposed to support addition, it is probably a good //! idea to have both `T` and `&T` implement the traits [`Add`][`Add`] and //! [`Add<&T>`][`Add`] so that generic code can be written without unnecessary //! cloning. //! //! # Examples //! //! This example creates a `Point` struct that implements [`Add`] and [`Sub`], //! and then demonstrates adding and subtracting two `Point`s. //! //! ```rust //! use std::ops::{Add, Sub}; //! //! #[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, PartialEq)] //! struct Point { //! x: i32, //! y: i32, //! } //! //! impl Add for Point { //! type Output = Self; //! //! fn add(self, other: Self) -> Self { //! Self {x: self.x + other.x, y: self.y + other.y} //! } //! } //! //! impl Sub for Point { //! type Output = Self; //! //! fn sub(self, other: Self) -> Self { //! Self {x: self.x - other.x, y: self.y - other.y} //! } //! } //! //! assert_eq!(Point {x: 3, y: 3}, Point {x: 1, y: 0} + Point {x: 2, y: 3}); //! assert_eq!(Point {x: -1, y: -3}, Point {x: 1, y: 0} - Point {x: 2, y: 3}); //! ``` //! //! See the documentation for each trait for an example implementation. //! //! The [`Fn`], [`FnMut`], and [`FnOnce`] traits are implemented by types that can be //! invoked like functions. Note that [`Fn`] takes `&self`, [`FnMut`] takes `&mut //! self` and [`FnOnce`] takes `self`. These correspond to the three kinds of //! methods that can be invoked on an instance: call-by-reference, //! call-by-mutable-reference, and call-by-value. The most common use of these //! traits is to act as bounds to higher-level functions that take functions or //! closures as arguments. //! //! Taking a [`Fn`] as a parameter: //! //! ```rust //! fn call_with_one(func: F) -> usize //! where F: Fn(usize) -> usize //! { //! func(1) //! } //! //! let double = |x| x * 2; //! assert_eq!(call_with_one(double), 2); //! ``` //! //! Taking a [`FnMut`] as a parameter: //! //! ```rust //! fn do_twice(mut func: F) //! where F: FnMut() //! { //! func(); //! func(); //! } //! //! let mut x: usize = 1; //! { //! let add_two_to_x = || x += 2; //! do_twice(add_two_to_x); //! } //! //! assert_eq!(x, 5); //! ``` //! //! Taking a [`FnOnce`] as a parameter: //! //! ```rust //! fn consume_with_relish(func: F) //! where F: FnOnce() -> String //! { //! // `func` consumes its captured variables, so it cannot be run more //! // than once //! println!("Consumed: {}", func()); //! //! println!("Delicious!"); //! //! // Attempting to invoke `func()` again will throw a `use of moved //! // value` error for `func` //! } //! //! let x = String::from("x"); //! let consume_and_return_x = move || x; //! consume_with_relish(consume_and_return_x); //! //! // `consume_and_return_x` can no longer be invoked at this point //! ``` //! //!
