Rust for Python Developers - Operators

Operator overloading is to specify more than one definition for an operator in the same scope. Python and Rust provide operator overloading. You can find Rust overloadable operators in the standard library ops module.

use std::ops::Add;
#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, 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(){
    let p3: Point = Point {x: 1, y: 0} + Point {x: 2, y: 3};
    println!("{:?}", p3);
}
