mmm. well here's an example:
CODE
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a,b,c,d;
a=1;
b=1;
c=++a;
d=b++;
printf("%d\n %d\n %d\n %d",a,b,c,d);
return 0;
}
Now the output for this would be :
2
2
2
1
as u can see, in the case of ++a, 1st a is incremented then its value is asigned to c, in the 2nd case. 1st, b's value is assigned to d.
There's one more place which this makes a diff(there may be more. cant think of any right now
). Suppose:
CODE
int i = 0;
while (i++<10)
{
/*statements*/
}
and
CODE
int i = 0;
while (++i<10)
{
/*statements*/
}
in the first case, i is first compared with 10 then it is incremented. In the second case, i is 1st incremented then its compared. Hope u got it
Similarly u have post and pre decrement using '--'.
