What are the differences between the prefix increment operator and postfix increment operator?

What will be an ideal response?


When you only want to increase a variable's value by 1, there is no apparent difference between using the prefix and postfix increment operators. However, these operators function differently. When you use the prefix ++, the result is calculated and stored, and then the variable is used. In contrast, when you use the postfix ++, the variable is used, and then the result is calculated and stored.
