hi @Nitin-Bhattacharyya-2319140631658033 operator overloading refers to when an operator can do different things, in different contexts.
For example, if you use + operator with 2 integers, it will sum them up.
But if you use + operator with 2 strings, it will concatenate them.
So + operator is behaving differently in different scenarios and that is called operator overloading.

You will learn about overloading in detail in the OOPs section.
