What is the difference between i++ and ++i

You can use these in most of languages but not in python
Now you have to know that compiler is compiling from left to right
So if the compiler see ++i it should increase the value of I by 1 then give i
If it see i++ it should give i then increase the value of it
But that will be useful only for complex and store statements like "a++ + ++I - ++w" or "i=u++"
Because there is no difference when you make it in loop

The only difference is the order of operations between the increment of the variable and the value the operator returns. So basically ++i returns the value after it is incremented, while ++i return the value before it is incremented. At the end, in both cases the i will have its value incremented.

If you use it like a single statement
i++;
++i; are the same
But if you use an assignment, b=++i means that you're adding 1 to i and than b=i. b=i++ means that b=i and than you're adding 1 to i. As a result,
i=1
b=++i ->b=i=2
i=1
b=i++ ->b=1 i=2

++i is pre-increment. It will increment i and then return that incremented value by 1.
Post-increment will increment i, but return the original value of i before it was incremented.
i = 5;
j = ++i;
(i is 6, j is 6)
i = 5;
j = i++;
(i is 6, j is 5)

Sorry u cant use i++ and ++i in python
