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:

becomes, with COM component:

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).
