i++ is a increment operator it takes less load then i=i+1as it consume less time and space in compilation process

i++ is faster because they return value before. then increment,maybe....

In practical terms the difference isn't worth the time it takes to discuss it.

yes' very hard" but technically speaking it is matter of mechine cycle's i=i+1 will take 2 mechine cycle's means 24 clock cycles but i++ take one mechine cycle 12 clock cycles so it is faster in execution when compared to other this same is applicable for other pre and post Inc/Dec instructions
