in post increment value is first store then increment so here i=87; i=i++; so the value due to post increment first uses the value of i then increment so i=87 if you do i=++i then value first increment then use and i=88 https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/407846/?ref=app

But According to Logic first i is assigned by 87 then it must be incremented by post increment operator...But this does not happen.. What I think is,it is due to the CPU registers where the statement executes... it stores the value of i in a register and puts in again to the memory address of i hence the assignment value does not change..because increment to i has been overwritten by assigning previous value.
