Why "++" operator over bool is defined?? however "--" is not in C++ -

this question has answer here:

• bool operator ++ , -- 4 answers

i wondering why ++ operator defined on bool... when tried --operator, not defined bool..

can please explain me reason behind that?

refer documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tf4dy80a.aspx

when postfix or prefix ++ operator applied variable of type bool, variable set true. postfix or prefix -- operator cannot applied variable of type.
