C: What is the difference between ++i and i++?

Question

In C, what is the difference between using ++i and i++, and which should be used in the incrementation block of a for loop?

Answer 1

The Main Difference is

• i++ Post(After Increment) and

• ++i Pre (Before Increment)

  • post if i =1 the loop increments like 1,2,3,4,n
  • pre if i =1 the loop increments like 2,3,4,5,n
