% start by loading the example:

| ?- logtalk_load(operators(loader)). ...

% operators declared inside an object are not visible outside:

| ?- double::(I double J).

Syntax error: Operator expected

% you must use instead functor notation:

| ?- double::double(I, J).

I = 1 J = 2 ;

I = 2 J = 4 ;

I = 3 J = 6

yes

% operators also affect inputting of terms, enabling this example to work:

| ?- triple::read_from_file.

yes

| ?- triple::triple(I, J).

I = 1 J = 3 ;

I = 2 J = 6 ;

I = 3 J = 9

yes

% local operators are used when reading terms (check the file "previous.txt" % generated from the file "next.txt" by the object "reverse" by opening the % files on a text editor):

| ?- reverse::reverse_file.

yes

% the "edge" operator on the "local.lgt" source file is not globally visible:

| ?- graph1::(N1 edge N2). uncaught exception: error(syntax_error('user_input:10 (char:13) ) or operator expected'),read_term/3)

% you must use instead functor notation:

| ?- graph1::edge(N1, N2).

N1 = a N2 = b ;

N1 = a N2 = c ;

N1 = b N2 = d ;

N1 = c N2 = d

yes

| ?- graph1::path(a, d, Path).

Path = [a, b, d] ;

Path = [a, c, d]

yes

% confirm that the "edge" operator have not became global:

| ?- current_op(P, T, edge).

no
