How can one overload the '++' operator in both its prefix and postfix forms in CPP programming?

In C++ programming, operator overloading is a form of polymorphism where operators are given new meaning for user-defined types. The '++' operator can be overloaded for both its prefix and postfix forms. To differentiate between the two when overloading, the postfix version takes an extra dummy integer parameter.

Here's an example:

class Counter {

private:

    int value;

public:

    Counter() : value(0) {}

    // Prefix increment operator

    Counter& operator++() {

        ++value;

        return *this;

    }

    // Postfix increment operator

    Counter operator++(int) {

        Counter temp = *this;

        ++*this;

        return temp;

    }

};

When the prefix version is called, no additional arguments are passed. However, for the postfix version, a call to c++ internally transmits a '0' as the argument, which is the conventional way to distinguish it from the prefix version.
