Help me port line of code with "operator"

[RyuMaster]

Hi! I need to rewrite this from C++ to C#

     FORCEINLINE bool operator == (const edge2f &other) const 
    {
		return (_vids[0] == other._vids[0] && _vids[1] == other._vids[1]);
     }

FORCEINLINE - I can ignore this, but is there some representation of "operator" in C#?

As I understand, this part of code hooks up somewhere into if...else comparison, and does extra check as defined, if comparison operator == is used. Is there some equivavent of this in C#?


Or in C#, I need to define custom function like

bool ExtraCheck(const edge2f &other)
{
return (_vids[0] == other._vids[0] && _vids[1] == other._vids[1]);
}

and use it like this all the time?

if (ExtraCheck(edge,_vids));

I hope I can write some clean solution as we can in C++;

Why don't you ask in a C# forum?

This is basically a c++ question, he wants to know what this does in c++ so he can write equivalent code in c#


what this does is called operator overloading. It is synactic sugar for an == type test with the defining class as left hand and a const edge2f& as the right hand.
it's unclear what the "left" side of the operator is since you didn't list the class. What it does is

// Assuming these are defined somewhere in the code....
LeftSide ls; // instantiate a LeftSide object (whatever the class is this operator was defined in)
edge2f edge;  // instantiate an edge2f object

if (ls == edge)  //  results in ->   if (ls.operator==(edge))  
//                   note, the == is part of the functionname, it could also be something like ls.IsEqual(edge)
{
   // equal
}
else
{
 // not equal
}

Thank you very much, seems like my original thought was misleading, but now I see what it does exactly and can port it. It is very good to know names of such things, and now I can also google " operator overloading " for C# and find all relevant topics I need.
