C++ Operator: How to overload postfix increment and decrement operators?

Q: How do I overload the postfix increment and decrement operators? (as in x++ or x--)?

A: To specify the postfix increment and decrement operators, you must specify an int as an argument:

Code:

---

class MyClass
{
public:
    MyClass& operator++();    //Prefix increment operator  (++x)
    MyClass  operator++(int); //Postfix increment operator (x++)

    MyClass& operator--();    //Prefix decrement operator  (--x)
    MyClass  operator--(int); //Postfix decrement operator (x--)
};

---
