Incrementation

Question

int x = 3;
int y = ++x;
// x is 4, y is 4

In the above I'm struggling to understand how x is 4 , I get how y is 4 because x = 3 and the increment is infront of the x so its 1+3 =4

Could someone please help

Answer 1

@Anhjje

int x = 3;
int y = x++; // x is incremented after it's assigned, so y = 3

x = 4 and y = 3

Answer 2

x++ and ++x both mean x=x+1 the difference is that x++ returns the value of x first and then increments it and ++x increments x first and then returns its value.
doing y=x++ would give y a value of 3 as in this case x is returned first. for y=++x, y is 4 as x is incremented first and then its value is returned.
x++ or ++x would both result in incrementation of x.

Answer 3

int x = 3;
int y = x++;

// x is 3, y is 4?
