Question

Is there a difference between ++x and x++ in java?

Answer 1

With i++, it's called postincrement, and the value is used in whatever context then incremented; ++i is preincrement increments the value first and then uses it in context.

If you're not using it in any context, it doesn't matter what you use, but postincrement is used by convention.
