Answer 2

x++ uses x value than increase it.
++x increase x than use the increased value.

Example:
var x = 1;
// ++x increase x to 2 , y = 2+2 , then ++ increase x to 3.
var y = ++x + x++;
// 5 3 will alerted cause ++y increase y to 5 but x++ increase x to 4 after alert
alert(++y+' '+x++)

Answer 3

increment does the operation/assignment before outputing.

var x = 1 ;
alert(++x); //this will output 2.

decrement does the operation/assignment after outputing.

var x = 1;
alert(x++) ; // this will output 1, just after this the value of x will be 2.
