Operator overloading is a mechanism where a C++ developer can assign a special meaning to an operator (such as + or -, for example). This is useful, because it allows developers to create classes that can interact with other classes or primitives naturally, using the same syntax as you'd expect when working with primitives. For example, using operator overloading allows cin and cout to work "magically":
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
Even though it appears that these are just "shift operations", they take on the special meaning of outputting (for cout) and inputting (for cin) without resorting to a more cumbersome:
cout.print("Hello World\n");
This short example doesn't illustrate the savings that this syntax allows; a string of 20 variables would very nicely outline how the shift operators streamline cout.
Unfortunately, this usage is considered controversial, because it allows developers to use odd syntax. Consider the following:
Vehicle car = new Vehicle();
Velocity speed = new Velocity(15);
car += speed;
This is legal syntax with operator overloading. While it might make sense to some developers, others less familiar with a library might need to dig down into the code to make sure that the effect is what the developer intended. This can slow down development and debugging. It is this controversial usage that has prompted future languages, such as Java, to specifically exclude such functionality in an attempt to keep code as legible as possible.
Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, % ) have greater precedence over relational operators (<, >, <=, >=, ==, !=) in C language.
Precedence is determined by operators only. Every operator has a precedence in the range 1 through 17, where 1 has the highest precedence. All precedences have left-to-right associativity except 3 and 15 which are right-to-left. Precedence 1: scope-resolution operator Precedence 2: postfix increment/decrement, function-style type cast, function call, array subscripting and selection by reference or pointer. Precedence 3: prefix increment/decrement, unary plus/minus, logical and bitwise NOT, C-style cast, dereferencing, address-of, sizeof, new/new [] and delete/delete []. Precedence 4: pointer to member. Precedence 5: multiplication, division and modulo. Precedence 6: addition and substraction. Precedence 7: bitwise left/right shift. Precedence 8: relational operators (<, <=, > and >=). Precedence 9: equal/not equal operators (= and !=) Precedence 10: bitwise AND Precedence 11: bitwise XOR Precedence 12: bitwise OR Precedence 13: logical AND Precedence 14: llogical OR Precedence 15: ternary conditional, assignment and compound assignment. Precedence 16: throw Precedence 17: comma

In all popular high-level programming languages, the order in which operators are interpreted ("operator precedence") is vital to ensuring that all compilers execute instructions in precisely the same manner, as the "order of operations" rule is vital in mathematics. In the case of C and C++, arithmetic operators are executed prior to logic operators. For a detailed description of operator precedence, see the related links below.
The only "special" operators in C++ are those that cannot be overloaded. That is; the dot member operator (.), pointer to member operator (.*), ternary conditional operator (:?), scope resolution operator (::), sizeof() and typeof().
Operator precedence in embedded C is exactly the same as in standard C.

There is no "power" operator in C or C++. You need to the use the math library function pow().
+ is an example, one of many, of a binary operator in C or C++ a = b + c; // for usage example
There is no memory management operator in C++ -- it is an unmanaged language. You use the C++ new operator to allocate memory, and use the C++ delete operator to release previously allocated memory.

In C and in C++, the ++ operator means to increment. C++ was intended to be the next version, i.e. the incremental next step, of C, hence the use of the ++ operator.
The ++ in C++ refers to the postfix increment operator (operator++()). It's literal meaning is "the successor to C", in reference to the C language upon which the C++ language is based.
No.
