nalin [4]

Answer:

Date Date::operator++( int )

{

Date temp = *this;

Increment();

return temp;

}

Explanation:

Of options 1 through 4, only option 4 correctly implement the post increment of the ++ operator.

Interpreting each line of option for and comparing it to other options

Line 1: Date Date::operator++( int )

This declares the data type and its ++ operator

This is same for all options

Line 2: The Date type needs to be declared

In option 4, it was declared correctly as Date temp = *this;  using a pointer variable *this.

Here, option 2 is removed from the list of possible options.

Comparing other options

Line 3: The member increment option needs to be declared after the declaration of the date type variable.

This is correctly declared as Increment();  in option 4

Here, option 3 is removed from the list of possible options.

Comparing other options

Line 4: The value declared variable temp needs to be returned the way it was declared (without pointer indicator)

Hence, option 4 is best appropriate

explain the joke, “There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.”
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Binary is made up of only 2 digits: a one and a zero. 1011 is eleven in our counting system.

So 10 in binary = 2 in our counting system.

Read the joke as follows. There are 2 types of people in the world: those who  understand binary and those who do not.

I guess it's not really that funny, but computer programmers like it.
