computed property names in ES6

var i = 0; var a = { ['foo' + ++i]: i, ['foo' + ++i]: i, ['foo' + ++i]: i }; console.log(a.foo1); // 1 console.log(a.foo2); // 2 console.log(a.foo3); // 3 when we change ++i to i++ the output value is : /*2 3 undefined */ why?

Is that "++i" first adds 1 and then assigns it, while "i++" first assigns and then adds 1, there is no property "a.foo3", so it goes "undefined" var i = 0; var a = { ['foo' + ++i]: i, // 'foo1': 1 ['foo' + ++i]: i, // 'foo2': 2 ['foo' + ++i]: i // 'foo3': 3 }; console.log(a.foo1); // i = i + 1 then i = 1 console.log(a.foo2); // i = i + 1 then i = 2 console.log(a.foo3); // i = i + 1 then i = 3 then var a = { ['foo' + i++]: i, // 'foo0': 0 ['foo' + i++]: i, // 'foo1': 1 ['foo' + i++]: i // 'foo2': 2 }; console.log(a.foo0); // 0 // i = 0 then i = i + 1 console.log(a.foo1); // 1 // i = 1 then i = i + 1 console.log(a.foo2); // 2 // i = 2 then i = i + 1
