name: cairo-operator-overloading description: Explain Cairo operator overloading using core::ops traits like Add; use when a request involves redefining operators for custom types in Cairo.

Cairo Operator Overloading

Overview

Show how to overload operators by implementing the corresponding trait.

Quick Use

• Read references/operator-overloading.md before answering.
• Use a concise example like impl TypeAdd of Add<Type>.
• Emphasize that operator meaning should remain intuitive.

Response Checklist

• Choose the correct trait (e.g., Add, Sub, Mul, Div, Rem, Neg).
• Implement the trait for the concrete RHS type (Add<Other> or Add<Self>).
• Return a new value with the expected semantics.

Example Requests
