According to syntax postfix increment returns copy of unmodified variable (C++ == C), while prefix increment returns incremented variable (++C == C + 1).

???
If c = 1, then c++ = 2
#include <iostream> using namespace std;
int main() {
int i = 10;
cout << i++ << endl;
cout << i << endl;
}
postfix ++ increments the variable.
Postfix increments variable too, but as a side effect. in your code
cout << i++ << endl;prints 10 which means, that i++ returned copy of unincremented i.Yes c++ == c. That’s the point Bjarne Stroustrup made. It is the C language but then it’s better.
Nowadays they’re not completely compatible. But originally it was a preprocessor that created the C equivalent to be compiled. You could write C++ that compiled with a C compiler as long as you didn’t use the extra features.
Yeah.
Perhaps ++C == Java or something.
I’m sure that’s offensive to some, so apologies for airing the thought.
