Alan Baljeu was trying to use TDD with his large, legacy C++ code base. He found that the principle of the simplest thing that could possibly work was causing him trouble with the amount of rework.

In C++ Programming Language, increasing a value by 1 is called incrementing and decreasing value by 1 is called decrementing. As 1 is the most common value used to add, subtract and to reassign into variable.The increment operator(++) increases the variable's value by 1 and the decrement operator(--) decreases the value by 1.

Converting an expression of a given type into another type is known as type-casting. There are several casting operators specific to the C++ language. These operators are intended to remove some of the ambiguity and danger inherent in old style C language casts: explicit conversion. These operators are: dynamic_cast, static_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast.
