ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

in java operator overloading is not supported but the following code works:-
s3=s1+s2;
where s1,s2,s3 are strings.
isnt this also a form of operator overloading. i mean s2 and s3 are objects of class string and hence not basic datatypes. so how is the "+" operator doing its function here.
The + in this case works as a String concatenator. Don't try to use other languages logic in Java because it won't work. I gave up on that a long ago . Even the API is a bit inconsistent until 1.4.x, like using constants in lowercase (eg: Color.blue). They've fixed a bunch of things in 1.5.0 though (eg: Color.BLUE).

thanks.
Yes, Java does not have operator overloading. The + for Strings is a special shortcut syntax that is specially defined in the Java specification. (It actually just gets converted to a series of method calls by the parser.)
