Answer 3

Very verry thanx for helping me

Answer 4

a++ uses the current value of a and then increments by 1

so if you print a++ you will get it's current value of a but the next time you print a++ you will see that its increased by 1

++a increments the value by 1 and uses it.

so if you print ++a you will notice that the value has increased by 1 instantly.

Answer 5

I think ++a is used for increment

Answer 6

Rankush that's why we call them as post increment and pre increment ,like ++a pre-increment,a++ post increment

Answer 7

a++ is used for increment but it wouldnt return the increased variable immediately,
But ++a would return the increment
