What is the difference between ++x and x++ in processing

Answer 1

++x is pre increment.
y = ++x means x = x + 1 and y = x
Ex. x = 5; y = ++x means x = 6 and y = 6

x++ is post increment.
y = x++ means y = x and x = x + 1
Ex. x = 5; y = x++ means y = 5 and x = 6

Answer 4

I'm not that good with c++ but in other languages:

x++ increments x by 1 after this row is executed
++x incrmenets x by 1 right after it is written

so:

var x=5;
echo x++; //will print 5
echo x; //will print 6

var x =5;
exho ++x //will print 6

Again, idk commands for c++ but you get the point.

Answer 5

x++ goes like {temp = x; x = x + 1; return temp;}

and ++x goes like {x = x + 1; return x;}

obviously these are pseudo codes. The semantics remain same.
