What are the differences between using a the increment and decrement unary operators as prefix operators versus using them as postfix operators??

What will be an ideal response?


The increment (++) and decrement (--) unary operators can be used as prefix or postfix operators. Aprefix operatoris placed before a variable name. Apostfix operatoris placed after a variable name. The operands++countandcount++both increase the countvariable by one. However, the two statements return different values. When you use the increment operator as a prefix operator, the value of the operand is returnedafterit is increased by a value of one. When you use the increment operator as a postfix operator, the value of the operand is returnedbeforeit is increased by a value of one. Similarly, when you use the decrement operator as a prefix operator, the value of the operand is returned afterit is decreased by a value of one, and when you use the decrement operator as a postfix operator, the value of the operand is returnedbeforeit is decreased by a value of one. If you intend to assign the incremented or decremented value to another variable, then whether you use the prefix or postfix operator makes a difference.?
