First one is present increment and second one is the post incremental t of the variable. Both increases value of var to one. The difference between pre and post increment is given in below example. Int a=10. Int b=++a Then a and b both have the value 11. If b=a++ Then a become 11 and b have 10...

++var -- is for pre-increment, var++ -- is for post increment you will only see the effect when you are assigning this kind of operation to another variable, say int var=10; int i=0; i=++var; // here value of var(10 is incremented and then assigned to variable i, so i and var will be 10 now) var=10; i=var++;...

The difference is as in the notation, one first one is pre and second one is post increment. Pre increment , first increment the value to var+1 and do the rest. In post increment , at first execute the rest and then increment to var+1. var= var+1 is the final result.

++var is the pre-increment operator, that means firstly the value of variable is incremented and then assign new value to the variable. For eg var=9 and ++var means now the value is 10. var++ is post-increment operator,that means firstly the value is assign and then value is incremented. For eg: var=9...

first one is pre incrementing, second one is post incrementing. Lets take an example; int a,b=10, c; a=++b; c=b++; The values you get will be a=11; b=12, c=11; In case of pre-incrementation, increment happens first, then assignment. In case of post increment, assignment happens first and then...

In case of post increment, assignment happens first and then increment; That is why b is incremented twice but a and c got values based on when the increment is performed. read less

I am a teacher.

See below example; int var==10; int c,d; c=var++; # value of 'c' here is 10, var is incremented to 1 i.e. 11; var=10; #resetting 'var' value to 10 for your better understanding. d=++var; # value of 'd' here is 11. Even var value also 11. in case of ++var, value of 'var' will be first incremented...

Even var value also 11. in case of ++var, value of 'var' will be first incremented and then assigned to the lvalue (in above e.g. 'd') in case of var++, first 'var' value will be assigned to the lvalue and then 'var' will be incremented (in above e.g. its 'c'). Kindly let me know if you need still more clarification. read less

These are call pre and post increments respectively. Pre increment allows the program to utilize the updated variable but the post increment does not activates the updated value of the variable until the current context terminates.
