Create a class that defines the data type that is to be used in the overloading operation Declare the operator function operator op() in the public part of the class. It may be either a member function or a friend function Define the operator function to implement the required operations
for unary operator interpreted as operator op(x) for friend functions for binary operators interpreted as x.operator op (y) for member function operator op(x,y) for friend functions

Overloaded operator functions can be invoked as
