Operator + (Addition)

Sums two expressions

Syntax:declare operator + ( byref lhs as byte, byref rhs as byte ) as byte declare operator + ( byref lhs as ubyte, byref rhs as ubyte ) as ubyte declare operator + ( byref lhs as short, byref rhs as short ) as short declare operator + ( byref lhs as ushort, byref rhs as ushort ) as ushort declare operator + ( byref lhs as integer, byref rhs as integer ) as integer declare operator + ( byref lhs as uinteger, byref rhs as uinteger ) as uinteger declare operator + ( byref lhs as longint, byref rhs as longint ) as longint declare operator + ( byref lhs as ulongint, byref rhs as ulongint ) as ulongint declare operator + ( byref lhs as single, byref rhs as single ) as single declare operator + ( byref lhs as double, byref rhs as double ) as double declare operator + ( byref lhs as T, byref rhs as integer ) as T declare operator + ( byref lhs as integer, byref rhs as T ) as T
Usage:

result = lhs + rhs

Parameters:

lhs

The left-hand side expression to sum.

rhs

The right-hand side expression to sum.

T

Any pointer type.

Return Value:

Returns the sum of two expressions.

Description:

When the left and right-hand side expressions are numeric values, Operator + (Add) returns the sum of the two values.

When the left and right-hand side expressions are string values, Operator + (Add) concatenates the two strings and returns the result.

If either the left or right-hand side expressions is of Pointer type, Operator + (Add) performs pointer arithmetic on the address, returning the result.

Neither operand is modified in any way.

This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types.

Examples:

Dim n As Single
n = 4.54 + 5.46
Print n
Sleep

will produce the output:

Dialect Differences:

In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB:

None
