Operator Overloading:
We'd like the + operator to perform vector addition of two Box
objects using +, the * operator to multiply a Box width and height by a
scalar, and the unary - operator to do negate the width and height of
the Box. Here is a version of the Box class with mathematical operators
defined:
class Box
def initialize(w,h) # Initialize the width and height
@width,@height = w, h
end
def +(other) # Define + to do vector addition
Box.new(@width + other.width, @height + other.height)
end
def -@ # Define unary minus to negate width and height
Box.new(-@width, -@height)
end
def *(scalar) # To perform scalar multiplication
Box.new(@width*scalar, @height*scalar)
end
