Pre-increment and Post-increment Program in C++

This C++ program overloads the pre-increment and post-increment operators for user-defined objects. The pre-increment operator is an operation where the value attribute of the object is incremented and the reference to resulting object
returned whereas in the post-increment operator, a local copy of the object is saved, the value attribute of the object is incremented and the reference to the local copy of the object is returned.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which overloads the pre-increment and post-increment operators for user-defined objects. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

    cout << "Post Increment Operator" << endl;

    cout << "Integer++ : " << (i++).getValue() << endl;

    cout << "Pre Increment Operator" << endl;

    cout << "++Integer : " << (++i).getValue() << endl;

```
}
```

$ a.out

Integer++ : 10
Pre Increment Operator
Integer++ : 12
