Overload Unary Minus Operator in C++

This C++ program overloads the minus(-) operator. The program defines a class and instantiates it. The minus operator is defined inside the class. The value of two objects can be subtracted using this operator.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which overloads the minus(-) operator. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

$ a.out

b = 20
a - b = -10
