 Type expected  
   
- A type parameter is expected.  
-  
-## Example  
+A type has not been specified where expected, when [overloading an operator](../language-reference/operators/operator-overloading.md).
+<br/>Missing *type* in this case means that there's no *type* given for the return type of the overloaded operator.
+This error shouldn't be confused with missing [generic type parameter](../../csharp/programming-guide/generics/generic-type-parameters.md).
 
- The following sample generates CS1031:  
-  
-```csharp  
-// CS1031.cs  
-namespace x  
-{  
-    public class ii  
-    {  
-    }  
-  
-    public class a  
+## Example
+
+The following sample generates CS1031:
+
+```csharp
+namespace x
+{
+    public class I
+    {
+    }
+
+    public class A
     {  
-        public static operator +(a aa)   // CS1031  
-        // try the following line instead  
-        // public static ii operator +(a aa)
