operator overloading (prefix ++)

[2kaud]

Please format your code properly before posting and use code tags (Go advanced, select the code and click '#'). You code as posted is not very readable.

When overloading the operator ++, there are two situations that need to be considered - pre and post increment.
Prefix increment is defined as

things& operator++();

whereas postfix increment is defined as

things operator++(int);
