Operations and function
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "operations". Are you referring to operator overloading?
Thanks, i am new and i am reading a material with contents below in bold
program.
To create operations, you write algorithms and implement them in a programming language. Because a data element
in a complex program usually has many operations, to separate operations from each other and to use them effectively
and in a convenient manner, you use functions to implement algorithms. After a brief introduction in Chapters 2 and
3, you will learn the details of functions in Chapter 6. Certain algorithms require that a program make decisions, a

met, a process called repetition.
