Which is more efficient n=n+1 or n++?

Question

Whats the major difference between these statements as both of them do the same operations.

Answer 1

The second has two characters less.

Answer 2

Most compilers optimizes the code you write, and those two will generate the same assembly code. In that case, it would be more efficient to just write n++ or ++n than n=n+1.

Answer 3

When incrementing an integer value

n++ is more efficient if you only add one to a variable

But n=n+1 is more efficient if you add a value that is greater than 1
(e.g. n=n+4, n=n+5)
PS: it would be more efficient if the language you are using has this:
n += 4, n+= 5

Answer 4

Modern compilers generate the same assembly code hence practically its no difference, since its just an INC instruction.

Answer 5

Since the compiler selects the most efficient route of execution, the n=n+1 would be automatically converted to n++. There is no real difference between these as far as the compiler is concerned.

Answer 6

Both are same.... in terms of efficiency as both statements can be considered as having constant time complexity...

Answer 7

AFAIK n++.... Since there is increment and reassignment in n=n+1

Answer 8

both are the same but n++ is easy to write

Answer 9

They are the same but you should be careful about pre and post increment

Answer 10

With: n++ ;

You write less code and I think it's more intelligent way of code. 👊👊

Answer 11

n++ is more efficient bcoz there is least time to load, compile & output.

Answer 12

n++

Answer 13

According to 'c' and 'c++' pre and post decrement or increment operator is good because it feels handy with program
Many languages does not support 'n++' type of format like python..,we have to take care about them🙂

Answer 14

n++ Better then the other

Answer 15

As it takes less space

Answer 16

N=N+1 is efficient

Answer 17

You could also compare them with n+=1

Answer 18

both are same but n++ is better

Answer 19

n++ is most usefull and easy

Answer 20

n++
