Prefix and Postfix

Question

When looking at Postfix

Int x = 3;
Int y = x++;
Console.WriteLine(x+(“ “)+y);

// x output is 4, y output is 3

But how come (int y) doesn’t also get a +1 since we did y = x++, because if the variable y equals x++ shouldn’t it also be 4?

Answer 1

If you assign x++ to y, you are assigning the original value of x rather than x+1.
But if you assign ++x, you are assigning x+1.

Of course eventually the x is increased by 1.
