Operators

Through Operators, Dyvil provides a way to override existing operators and define new operators. In Dyvil, there is no clear distinction between an alphanumerical identifier such as fooBar123 and an operator with symbols like +, +:- or *\*. That means one could easily name a method with an operator name without any problems, as shown below
infix func +-(i: int, j: int) -> int = i + -j
1 +- 2 // -1
To be JVM-compatible, the compiler replaces all operators in these identifiers according to the following table:
Symbol
Replacement
=
$eq
+
$plus
-
$minus
*
$times
/
$div
\
$bslash
%
$percent
#
$hash
@
$at
<
$lt
>
$gt
:
$colon
.
$dot
!
$bang
?
$qmark
~
$tilde
^
$up
&
$amp
|
$bar
For example, a method with the operator name +* has the name $plus$times when accessed from Java.
