If you create a custom type, you may want to add two variables of those types one to other. You can "overload" the "+" operator in the way it can perform the operation on your custom type.

For example, assume that the "+" operator can perform additions only on numeric types. You create a new type who consist of a number and a char (ie. 2H or 6L) and call this type numchar. If you try to add two numchar, you will have an error because the operation was unknown for this type. You can overload the "+" operator to perform additions on the numchar type.

I dont know if my explaination was clear enough, may be a real "english speaker" can jump in and help you more... :)
