    Hi
    Can anybody please tell me what's the difference between using a user defined operator and a user defined function ?

    PS : I want to see where the differnece lies in using them (user defined operators and functions) PRACTICALLY.

    Thanks.

    From my personal point of view, operator is a function. Otherwaords , operators are functions that has different schmantics. You could call an over-loaded/over-ridden operator a user defined operator. Comming to the functions, every function is a userdefined. But you could make a distinction of it based on the language that you use. This would be my take.
