How can I see the value of y after it is incremented on y = x++

Question

On the example below if I run 'cout << y' it will show me the value 5 however the expression y=x++ indicates that it will assign y the value x then increment y. My question is how do I see the value of y after it is incremented? or is y not incremented when we say y=x++? Thanks a bunch!

x = 5;
y = x++;
// x is 6, y is 5

Answer 1

Here y will be assigned value of x and than x will be incremented not y because you have use postfix increment in x not y.

Hope this helps ☺️☺️.

Answer 2

x become 6 after y = x and that is why y = 5
In other words first y = x than x++

Answer 3

do y = ++x
