Operator overloading

Kotlin has a predefined set of operators with fixed symbolic representation (such as +, and *) and fixed precedence. Most of the operators are translated directly into method calls; some are translated into more complex expressions. The following table contains a list of all the operators available in Kotlin:

Operator token	Corresponding method/expression
a + b	a.plus(b)
a - b	a.minus(b)
a * b	a.times(b)
a / b	a.div(b)
a % b	a.rem(b)
a..b	a.rangeTo(b)
a += b	a.plusAssign(b)
a -= b	a.minusAssign(b)
a *= b	a.timesAssign(b)
a /= b	a.divAssign(b)
a %= b	a.remAssign(b)
a++	a.inc()
a--	a.dec()
a in b	b.contains(a)
a !in b	!b.contains(a)
a[i]	a.get(i)
a[i, j]	a.get(i, j)
a[i_1, ..., i_n]	a.get(i_1, ..., i_n)
a[i] = b	a.set(i, b)
a[i, j] = b	a.set(i, j, b)
a[i_1, ..., i_n] = b	a.set(i_1, ..., i_n, b)
a()	a.invoke()
a(i)	a.invoke(i)
a(i, j)	a.invoke(i, j)
a(i_1, ..., i_n)	a.invoke(i_1, ..., i_n)
a == b	a?.equals(b) ?: (b === null)
a != b	!(a?.equals(b) ?: (b === null))
a > b	a.compareTo(b) > 0
a < b	a.compareTo(b) < 0
a &gt...
