C# struct layout and operator overloading

C# struct layout

1. Struct layout in C# - .NET Concept of the Week - Episode 13

In this episode I talk about struct layout in C#. You will learn how C# structs are represented in memory and you will also learn how you can influence this with the StructLayoutAttribute.

2. C# Struct: Everything You Need to Know in Lesson 12

This lesson will teach you about C# struct. Our objectives are as follows: Understand the Purpose of structs. Implement a struct. Use a struct.

Operator Overloading

3. Does the order of operands matter for an overloaded == operator in C#

I am using a 3rd party tool (Unity3d), where one of the fundamental base classes overloads the == operator (UnityEngine.Object). The overloaded operator's signature is: public static bool operator == (UnityEngine.Object x, UnityEngine.Object y)

4. Operator overloading (C# reference)

A user-defined type can overload a predefined C# operator. That is, a type can provide the custom implementation of an operation in case one or both of the operands are of that type. The Overloadable operators section shows which C# operators can be overloaded

5. About Operator Overloading

The principal arithmetic and comparison operators can be adapted for use by your own classes and structs. This is known as operator overloading. This article is a thorough discussion of the syntax as well as which operators can be overloaded and those that can't.

6. C# explicit and implicit Keywords

Use the explicit and implicit keywords to implement conversions with operators.

7. Implicit And Explicit Conversions In C#

In my last article about type casting, I explained narrow and widening conversions along with as and is operators. In this article, we shall take casting to a whole new level. At the end, you will learn how readability of code can be improved with implicit and explicit operators.

With the help of implicit operator, readability of code is improved and now class Money is responsible for all the conversion needed.

So as to summarize, the implicit keyword should be used to enable implicit conversions between a user-defined type and another type, if the conversion is guaranteed not to cause a loss of data.

8. Working With Data Types

First thing a programmer looks for is what kind of data types a programming languages has and how to use them. In this part, I will cover C# data types and how to use them in a program.

9. Static implicit operator

What does static implicit operator mean?

10. Why must C# operator overloads be static?

Why does C# require operator overloads to be static methods rather than member functions (like C++)? (Perhaps more specifically: what was the design motivation for this decision?)

11. Writing Implicit and Explicit C# Conversion Operators

Implicit conversion operators are those that don’t require an explicit cast.
Explicit conversion operators are those that do require an explicit cast.
