You're already familiar with implementing traits in Rust, let's explore some special traits from the standard library - specifically those that allow operator overloading through the std::ops module.
One such trait is Add, which allows you to implement custom behavior for the + operator. This is particularly useful when working with types that have a natural addition operation, like measurements or mathematical types.
Let's implement custom addition between different units of measurement. You'll create a system where you can add meters to millimeters, with automatic unit conversion.
Your job is to implement a Millimeters struct and a Meters struct, then implement the Add trait to allow adding a Meters value to a Millimeters value. The result should be a new Millimeters value.
Millimeters and Meters, each holding a single u32 valueAdd<Meters> trait for Millimeters to handle addition with MetersMillimetersIf you're stuck, here are some hints to help you solve the challenge!
The Add trait requires you to specify:
type Output = Millimeters;
fn add(self, other: Meters) -> Self::Output;Remember that meters must be multiplied by 1000 to convert to millimeters
Access tuple struct fields with .0
