X vs y operator

Why is, int x = 34; int y = x++; System.out.println(y); Output : 34 And int x = 34; int y = x++; System.out.println(x); Output : 35

Because you safe the valu of x in y and only after that step x gets incrementet by 1 If you would write y = ++x the value will be incrementet first and then it will be saved in y

Because you are using postfix x++ instead of prefix ++x. Postfix increments after assignment prefix increments before.

Because the first one is postfix it gets its incremented value only in next step of the program.And at the second time it saves the value of previous x
