Examples: int x = 0; cout << ++x * 5 << endl; cout << x; //Output: //5 //1 int y = 0; cout << y++ * 5 << endl; cout << y; //Output: //0 //1

Increment operator does 2 things: ~Increments variable value by 1 ~Returns variable value for other operations to use Difference between prefix and postfix is that which one of those 2 tasks is done first. ++x: Firstly increments x's value by 1, Secondly it returns x's (new) value for other operations to use. x++: Firstly returns x's (original) value for other operations to use. Secondly it increments x's value by 1. Decrement operator works very similarly to increment operator, but instead of adding 1 it subtracts 1. An advantage of increment and decrement operators is that you can increment or decrement variable value while you use the variable in calculations.
