What is the purpose of using increment operator?

Question

I couldnt understand it at the very first glance but i made couple of experiments. The given loop tells that the user will keep putting values untill the number of values wont exceed 5 times. As it exceeds, the loop collapses and the program gets shut off. But Why we are using increment operator? How it is helping the user to keep adding values and defeating the purpose of loop " while " ?

increament operator is a unary operator used to increase the value of a variable

they are of two

pre-increment : increase value first then execute the statement

ex : ++variable

post-increment : execute the statement first then increase the value

ex : variable ++

this is a part of for loop which is also called upgrade expression

ex

void main()
{
int a=10;
