Notice in the previous code example we are applying our custom ++ and -- operators in two

unique manners. In C++, it is possible to overload pre- and postincrement/decrement operators

separately. This is not possible in C#; however, the return value of the increment/decrement is auto-

matically handled “correctly” free of charge (i.e., for an overloaded ++ operator, pt++ has the value

of the unmodified object as its value within an expression, while ++pt has the new value applied

before use in the expression).
