pre increment : increments the value first and then proceeds with the code. post increment: proceeds with the code by holding the same value and then increments the value eg. int x=1,y=1,z=1; int a=++x + ++y; // 2+2=4 int b= a++ + z; // 4+1=5 cout<<a; // 5 but in previous line execution a=4

Its's simple to understand if you add dry run part to understand it. The post-incremental operator (i++) uses the value as it is and after that particular execution or use of the variable the value is officially increased. The pre-incremental operator (++i) changes the value as it is executed or used. if: x=0; x++;//same value being used and changed after use i.e. 0 and now changed to 1 x;//value was changed earlier to 1 ++x;//change to value to 2 now Basically, x++ is Use then Change and ++x is Change then Use. I hope it helps if you need anymore help like though more example please post any code and I will tell you the output and how it works.
