Pre and Post Increment and Decrement

++x is pre-increment and --x is pre-decrement

x++ is post-increment and x-- is post-decrement

With ++x and --x: means x is incremented BEFORE being used.

With x++ and x--: means x is incremented AFTER being used.

Examples

number a = 1;

number b;

b = ++a;

print(b); // 2

print(a); // 2

b = --a;

print(b); // 1

print(a); // 1

number c = 3;

number d;

d = c++;

print(d); // 3

print(c); // 4

d = c--;

print(d); // 4

print(c); // 3
