Editing Method (computer programming) (section)

===Operator methods===
Operator methods [[Operator overloading|define or redefine operator symbols]] and define the operations to be performed with the symbol and the associated method parameters. C++ example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
#include <string>

class Data {
 public:
  bool operator<(const Data& data) const { return roll_ < data.roll_; }
  bool operator==(const Data& data) const {
    return name_ == data.name_ && roll_ == data.roll_;
  }

 private:
  std::string name_;
  int roll_;
};
