Editing Comparison of C Sharp and Java (section)

=== Operator overloading and conversions ===
[[Operator overloading]] and user-defined [[type conversion|casts]] are separate features that both aim to allow new types to become first-class citizens in the type system. By using these features in C#, types such as [[Complex numbers|{{mono|Complex}}]] and [[decimal128|{{mono|decimal}}]] have been integrated so that the usual operators like addition and multiplication work with the new types. Unlike C++, C# does restrict the use of operator overloading, prohibiting it for the operators {{mono|new}}, {{code|( )}}, {{code|{{!}}{{!}}}}, {{code|&&}}, {{code|{{=}}}}, and any variations of compound statements like {{code|+{{=}}}}. But compound operators will call overloaded simple operators, like {{code|-{{=}}}} calling {{code|-}} and {{code|{{=}}}}.<ref name="nested">{{cite web |url=http://www.25hoursaday.com/ |title=A Comparison of Microsoft's C# Programming Language to Sun Microsystems' Java Programming Language: Operator Overloading |author=Dare Obasanjo |year=2007 |publisher=Dare Obasanjo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120919093308/http://25hoursaday.com/ |archive-date=19 September 2012 |quote=Note: Unlike C++, C# does not allow the overloading of the following operators; {{mono|1=new, ( ), &#124;&#124;, &&, =}}, or any variations of compound assignments such as {{mono|1=+=, -=}}, etc. However, compound assignment operators will call overloaded operators, for instance, {{mono|1=+=}} would call overloaded {{mono|1=+}}. |access-date=6 September 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Java does not include operator overloading, nor custom conversions to prevent abuse of the feature and to keep the language simple.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cafeaulait.org/1998august.html |title=Java News from August, 1998 |publisher=Cafeaulait.org |access-date=24 February 2015}}</ref>
