BChange the behavior of built-in data types like int and str
CCreate new arithmetic operators not available in Python
DAutomatically optimize arithmetic operations for speed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand operator overloading concept

    Operator overloading lets you tell Python how to use operators like + or * with your own objects.

  3. Final Answer:

    Define how operators like +, -, * work for your custom objects -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Operator overloading = custom operator behavior [OK]
Quick Trick: Think: 'How do I make + work for my objects?' [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing operator overloading with creating new operators
