Are they same *ptr++ and ++*ptr?? IN C LANGUAGE. Explain it.

Answer 1

Sachin Artani I don't think that's the case. With *ptr++, the value of *ptr will stay the same, but ptr will be incremented, meaning it will point to the next memory location (if in an array, the next element of the array). ++*ptr will just increment the value of the memory location ptr points to.

Answer 2

We simply differentiate by seeing the post increment operator and pre increment operator they are same if and only if we check the value of *ptr after the execution of whole program

Answer 3

Im not sure I fully understand everything that you are asking but I can hopfully give some insight onto the position of the ++

In my experiance it effects when the increment occurs.

so if ptr=0

ptr++ means it is incremented after. So the values of ptr are: 0, 1 and so on.

++ptr means it is incremented before. So the values of ptr are: 1, and so on.

I hope this helps but please correct me if I’m wrong as I’m not 100% sure myself.
I would appreciate if you could confirm this. I dont want to be the one to explain something wrong.

Answer 4

In other words, you are asking the difference between increment and decrement operator.
