Exactly, you got it right. So the value of y will be equal to default value of x but the value of x will increment afterwards. e.g var x = 1; var y = x++; results: y = 1 and x = 2 but, var x = 1; var y = ++x; results: y = 2 and x = 2 Here x is incremented before assigned to y

The purpose would be that you know you will need that variable to increment, or increase by 1, right after that portion of code is used. Consider a situation where you need to count how many times you do something, and then stop after you perform a task a certain number of times.
