Operator overloading
/*
Operator overloading
Some operators overloaded by extending their functionalities.
"$" was an operator for "checking substring existence in a string"
For example :
? "A" $ "ABC" // Result: .T.
? "Z" $ "ABC" // Result: .F.
Now, this operator can be used for arrays and hashs too, not only strings.
See examples below.
"=>" was a preprocessor operator with meaning "translate to : ...".
Now, this operator can be used as a <key> - <value> separator in Hashs
for define and / or assign <key> - <value> to Hashs.
See examples below.
"[ ]" was Array element indicator (Special)
"{ }" was Literal array and code block delimiters (Special)
Now, this indicators can be used for hashs too.
See examples below.
"+=" is self-increment operator that can be used both numeric
and string values.
Such as :
cTest := "This"
cTest += " is"
? cTest // This is
nTest := 3
nTest += 10
? nTest // 13
Now, this operator can be used for adding elements to an existing hash;
( but no for arrays ! ).
Note : Extended functionalities of $ and += operators depends xHB lib.
So need this usages to xHB lib and xHB.ch.
See examples below.
