Answer 1

@McNitro,
x++ does the increment in the next line
For example:

int x=5;
cout<<x++;

//output 5

++x does the increment on that line
For example:

int x=5;
cout<<++x;

// output 6

Answer 2

I just read my earlier response...pretty crappy. lol. I wasn't looking for further explanation of Pre vs Post definitions. @Gordie explained it well for @Rame#1, and everyone else. My question is more about implementation. I fail to understand the scenarios in which you would choose to implement one over the other.

Answer 3

@Gordie Adding to Rame's question: What is a simple, "real world" example for differentiating between Pre (++x) and Post (x++)?

Answer 4

int, inostren
