According to syntax postfix increment returns copy of unmodified variable (C++ == C), while prefix increment returns incremented variable (++C == C + 1).

++C would make the language totally irrelevant in alphanumeric listings of languages
After simply managing a point of sale system for a retail chain, I hate you for even suggesting this./s It is almost as bad as all the insane ideas about date notation. The only correct notation is YYYY/MM/DD.
ISO 8601 is good for computers, but as a human i prefer DD/MM/YYYY, which is more convenient for everyday use. USA format is abomination though.
We read numbers big->small. YYYY>MM>DD
But when you wanna figure out what day it is, usually the month doesn’t change. I love ISO 8601 as much for programming and sorting as much as the next person, but for close dates for humans, DMY is still pretty good.
No it’s not. Only care about the date in month? Just say the date. Do you care about the month too? Month Day is your answer. Do you care about the full date? Add on the year
Saying it out loud and using a worded date in this order is what I mean. English simply does not support “Twenty Twenty-four September Twenty” or “2024 September 20”.
Many people are ahead used to the DD.MM.YYYY format. They are also already totally ok with the hh:mm:ss format so apparently there’s no problem ascending or descending order. Inconsistency really bothers me, so we should just pick one and stick with it. Preferably the ISO style, if you ask me.
wtf, it’s YYYY-MM-DD brother
Why not invent even more notations? We did YYYY.MM.DD at work.
Just please don’t do yyyyMMdd with each field being optional and possibly one or two characters.
I know you meant MM/DD/YYYY
But it’s still C
I think ++C is going full ahead to D
Agreed. C is a char, and
++'C'results in'D'.
Nah, because when you write it it’s just C, but when you come back later to check your code it’s gotten bigger and more obfuscated.
4 decades too late with this. You’re not the first.
PHP should stand for “Pre Hypertext Processor”.
Instead of being a recursive acronym for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”.

If c = 1, then c++ = 2
#include <iostream> using namespace std;
int main() {
int i = 10;
cout << i++ << endl;
cout << i << endl;
}
postfix ++ increments the variable.
Postfix increments variable too, but as a side effect. in your code
cout << i++ << endl;prints 10 which means, that i++ returned copy of unincremented i.
First there was C
Then C+, and no one gave a shit, so they made C++
It’s just C with stuff added to it twice.
double-plus-good
Then what about C++++, aka C#.
i give it a c-
The fediverse really is filled with programmers… that nearly looks like math but the type I learned at school.
