Is it not possible to call C++ operators manually?

Question

I\'m trying to understand operators in C++ more carefully.

Answer 1

For basic types like int, float, double; the operators are already overloaded/pre-defined, so nothing special can be done for that. And,

int z = x + y;

is the only way to express/call it.

For interpretation purpose, actually both the statements,

int z = operator+(x,y);
int z = x.operator+(y);

are true (had it been overloadable).
