I was given an assignment to overload + and - operator
i want to confirm that my logic is well or not?
The program runs fine

#include<conio.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class Distance
{
private:
	int feet;
	int inches;
public:
	Distance()
{
		feet=inches=0;
}
	void input()
	{
		cout<<"*****Enter distance******"<<endl;
		cout<<"Enter Feets : "<<endl;
		cin>>feet;
		cout<<"Enter Inches : "<<endl;
		cin>>inches;
	}
	void show()
	{
		cout<<"The Distance is  : "<<endl;
		cout<<"Feets : "<<feet<<endl;
		cout<<"Inches : "<<inches<<endl;
	}
	Distance operator ++()
		{
		Distance temp;
		feet++;
		inches++;
		temp.feet=feet;
		temp.inches=inches;
		return temp;
		}
	Distance operator --()
		{
		Distance temp;
		feet--;
		inches--;
		temp.feet=feet;
		temp.inches=inches;
		return temp;
		}
};
int main()
{
	Distance x;
	x.input();
	x.show();
	cout<<"***** After Overloading ++ operator : "<<endl;
	++x;
	x.show();
	cout<<"***** After Overloading -- operator : "<<endl;
	--x;
	x.show();
	return 0;
}

Where are your overloads for these operators? All I see is the overloads for operator++ and operator--.

i want to confirm that my logic is well or not?

I would say probably not. For those operators you probably should only increment/decrement either feet or inches, not both.

what difference it makes if i write + instead of ++ thats just a name
.
but i was not given any condition to increment only one of feet or inches

[jlb]

Because these two operators do different things. The operator+ adds two instances of your class, the operator++ only operates on one instance.

but i was not given any condition to increment only one of feet or inches

That's probably because you should be implementing operator+ not operator++.

You probably should be able to do something like the following:

Distance a;
a.input();
a.show();

Distance b;
b.input();
b.show();

Distance c = a + b;
c.show();

It wouldn't matter if we called it operator, either, right?

operator+ and operator++ do not differ in name only. The semantics for your operators would be surprising to those familiar with the language. To be consistent with the normal behavior, they should return a reference to *this, not a copy of it.

but i was not given any condition to increment only one of feet or inches

If I increment a distance by 1 I would expect it to increase by 1, not 13. Of course, I would also expect a distance to be stored in terms of one unit, not two.
