In a loop, counter increment does not concern whether the counter is pre or post incremented. What counts more (and oftenly skipped or forgotten somehow) is the counter not being incremented/decremented, causing the loop to be infinite.

It's not the same: https://code.sololearn.com/cgYeI9eYRrCX/?ref=app But the use cases are rare. Sometimes it's more about the performance, especially within very large loops you should prefer the pre-increment.
