with ++x you will increment the value of x before assign it to y, with x++ you will use the value before increment, so when you do var y = x++ the var y will have the value 5 and x will have the value 6. PS: sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian!

yes the var y will have the same value, but, if you use x++ you increment the value of x, if you don't use, x will continue with the same value. Again, sorry for my english!

hi Everyton, for that conclusion, we can assign y=x instead of y=x++. both will result the same correct.
