What is the main reason to overload operators in C++?

To enhance code performance
To allow operators to work with user-defined types
To modify the default behaviors of operators with built-in types
To demonstrate the programmer's expertise in C++

The correct answer is: To allow operators to work with user-defined types

Overloading operators in C++ allows for operators to work with user-defined types, giving the programmer more flexibility and control over how these types interact with operators. The other options, while they may be benefits of operator overloading, are not the main reason for doing so. For example, overloading operators may not necessarily enhance code performance, and modifying default behaviors of operators with built-in types may lead to unexpected behavior and can be confusing for other programmers. Additionally, demonstrating expertise in C++ is not a primary reason for overloading operators, as it is more important for the code to be easily understandable and maintainable by others.
