Answer 2

You're a bit backwards on it.

++a == 7
a++ == 6

Assuming that a is 6.

Answer 3

With prefix (++a) you do the incrementing first and then return the final value. So if a was 6 then ++a returns 7.

With postfix (a++) you return the current value and then increment. So if a was 6 then a++ returns 6 but if you checked the value of a again after it would be 7.

Think of it this way, prefix the ++ comes first so you add then return a. When the ++ comes second you return a then increment (postfix).

Answer 4

if a = 6 then,
++a = 6,
a++ = 7
is this right
