VI.0.2.4 Operators

Operators are unsupported in COM. Therefore, the operators that are defined by ruby classes are replaced by methods in COM component:

• Method “opAdd” corresponds to operator “+”,

• Method “opSub” corresponds to operator “-”,

• Method “opMul” corresponds to operator “*”,

• Method “opDiv” corresponds to operator “/”,

• Method “opPow” corresponds to operator “**” (power).

For example, the following ruby statement:

   z=x+y

becomes, with COM component:

   z=x.opAdd(y)

Note that the different “operator” methods defined in ruby “Post” module are also defined in the “Application” class of COM component (section VI.2.1).
