Explanation of Solution
Overloading the prefix ++ operator:
The “++” operator must be overloaded in the same way as binary operators are implemented.
The prefix “++” operator function is used to increment the value by 1.
Example:
Consider the example of prefix “++” operator is as follows:
//prefix ++ operator function
void operator++()
{
//increment the value
++value;
//return statement
return *this;
}
Here, the “++” operator is operated by the object of the class, the “void operator++ ()” is invoked which is increases the value of data member “value” to 1. Finally return the value, which may be used for other expression.
Overloading the postfix ++ operator:
The overloading postfix “++” operator is same as prefix “++” operator but it has a small difference when compared to the prefix “++” operator...
