About how the increment works

Question

I cant understand ho x = 3, y = ++x .. outputs as x=4 and y=4

Answer 1

well x is incremented by one (x =4) then is assigned to y ( then y = 4)... note that if used post-increment happen opposite: first x is assigned to y (then y=3) next x is incremented (then x=4)

Answer 2

Because it's a prefix increment, so the value of x gets incremented to 4 and then y gets assigned to that value. Alternatively, x++ will assign 3 to y and then increment x to 4 after.

Answer 3

thank you for the fast response. really helpful
