- gus_massa 2y agoIf you oveload "+" to mean whatever-you-want, it's possible. Using bad python [1], it's something like: def sum(x,y): if is_number(x) and is_number(y): return x + y elif is_number(x) and is_percent(y): return x * (1 + y.value/100) else: raise fatal_error I don't claim it's a good idea, but it's possible if the language allows operator overload. [1] Sorry, my main current language is Racket, but I thought that python-like is easier to read for most people, in spite people that likes python can find like 10 error in 7 LOC.
