Q&A

Q1:	Why would you overload an operator when you can just create a member method?
A1:	It is easier to use overloaded operators when their behavior is well understood. It enables your class to mimic the functionality of the built-in types.
Q2:	What is the difference between the copy constructor and the assignment operator?
A2:	The copy constructor creates a new object with the same values as an existing object. The assignment operator changes an existing object so that it has the same values as another object.
Q3:	What happens to the int used in the postfix operators?
A3:	Nothing. That int is never used except as a flag to overload the postfix and prefix operators.
