Answer / pedda

i++ and ++i mean the same thing but they have differently
i++ define post increment that means when the function
is completely after that the value is increment
Example:
i=4 find d=i++ + i; d=9 because i++
initially the value is 4 so 4+4=8 after tha the value d is
increment so finally d value is 9
++i define pre increment that means when the function
is starting increment
Example:
i=4 find d=++i +i; d=9 ++i value is increment
starting so ++i value is 5 so d value is 9

Answer / geetha

i++ and ++i mean the same thing when they form statements
independently,they behave differently.
for example:
i=5;
d=++i;
in this case the value is i,d =6.bcoz first increment and
next assign the value
i=5;
d=i++;
in this case the value of d=5 and i=6.bcoz first assign the
value next increment and it will be change the value i=6.
