Answer 1

I think you're mixing up pre-increment (++x) and post-increment (x++).

y = ++x
does the same as
x = x+1
y = x

y = x++
does the same as
y = x
x = x+1

Answer 2

Thanks but do you mean that ++x is the same as x++ because it gives the same thing? From what you have written

Answer 3

Thanks i get it now
