Delphi Compiler Error
E2518 Operator ‘%s’ must take least one ‘%s’ type in parameters
Reason for the Error & Solution
Overloading the addition operator requires that one of the parameters is the same type as the return type.
program E2518;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
SysUtils;
type
TFirstRec = record
end;
TSecondRec = record
end;
TThirdRec = record
class operator Add(_a: TFirstRec; _b: TSecondRec): TThirdRec;
end;
class operator TThirdRec.Add(_a: TFirstRec; _b: TSecondRec): TThirdRec;
begin
// code to initialize Result from the values of _a and _b
end;
begin
Writeln(' E2518 Operator ''%s'' must take least one ''%s'' type in parameters');
end.
