Why do we get the same output?

var i,j,x=0; for(i=0;i<10;i++){for(j=0;j<=2;j++){x++;} console.log(x);} //Output: 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 var i,j,x=0; for(i=0;i<10;i++){for(j=0;j<=2;j++){++x;} console.log(x);} //Output: 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30

Let's See var i,j,x = 0; for(i = 0 ; i < 10; i++) --Top Loop for(j = 0; j <= 2; j++) -- Bottom x++; *The top loop runs 10 times *The bottom loop runs 3 times. Each time the top loop runs, the bottom loop "increments x by 1" 3 times. Thereby making it same as x = x+3; So after the top loop runs the first time, the bottom loop adds 3 to x, making it 0+3 = 3. So in a nutshell, ============ Each time the top loop runs, x gets the value of (i+1)*3 In this context, the 2 loops do the same thing.

You're confused by the difference between ++x and x++ right?

I know the difference between them .. ++x means increase by 1 then return x value .. x++ return x value then increase by 1 .. I want explain this with numbers to better understanding I know what is their meanings but I confuse the use of them
