(SWIFT SPECIFICALLY)
lets say i have a function like this

static func * (complex: i, number: Int) -> i{
    return i(number*complex.times)
}

as you can see, i want to be able to multiply a complex number by an integer.
however, this only works if the complexe number is on the left side (such as: i(5) * 5)
so i can do i(10) * 8 but not 8 * i(10) because the function parameters have to be in a certain order. I am aware i can just make a second overloaded function, but is tehre any way around it? im learning swift and it would be nice to learn some tips and tricks.
THanks,
from me
