++x means ADD 1 TO X ( THEN ) give me its value, BUT x++ means GIVE ME ITS CURRENT VALUE ( FIRST ) then increase it. Got it? Just look at what comes first (x or ++), and you will get the idea.

Increment operator (++) increases the value by 1, decrement (--) decreases by 1. For example, var i = 3. You can make this var value 4 in this way: i++ ; Also you can make i--; (where i=3) and make value of i = 2. That was simple. Another example is loop, where this operators are often needed. Like in the attached code. (check JS and tap 'Run') Also, there is a difference between the pre and post increment and decrement operators. //wiki_code int x; int y; // Increment operators x = 1; y = ++x; // x is now 2, y is also 2 y = x++; // x is now 3, y is 2 // Decrement operators x = 3; y = x--; // x is now 2, y is 3 y = --x; // x is now 1, y is also 1 https://code.sololearn.com/WsFui9z9XmR7/?ref=app

Increment operators is instead of putting x=x+1 you can simply put x=++1 Decrement operators is simply decreasing by one Example x= --5 (so 5 is now 4 because it's been subtracted by one) Note: (-- is minus one to the variable while ++ is additional 1 to the variable)
