C++ Tutorial: Operator Overloading Part 6 - Increment and Decrement Operators

Part 6. In this video the prefix and postfix inrcrement and decrement operators are overloaded for the Vector2 class. The nature of the operators are explored and implemented as class member functions using specific syntax. Also demonstrates chaining increment and decrement operators.

That was really helpful, you really went through eveything that mattered to understand this topic

Helpful videos, keep up the good work !

I still don't understand why you had to return a vector2 object instead of a reference in the definition of the postfix operators. And how come you return (*this) instead of (this) in the prefix operators? Should the return type be a reference?

You failed to show what happens when sending a vec1++ to the output directly, to compare it with what happens when sending i++ to the output directly - that would complete the picture. Otherwise a nice tutorial.
