Basically + operator is binary operator, which performs on two buil in data types. However if you wish to add two objects like complex numbers [ eg. (2+3i) + (4+6i) then its addition is (6+9i). In this case + operator needs to be overloaded with well defined code of adding both imaginary and real parts of numbers. So in main(), you can directly write objC=objA+objB (where objC,objA and objB all are complex number objects..) Hence, this makes code readable and easy to maintain. I hope you cleared your doubts...
