I have a question related to Pre vs. Post-Increment Operations in Programming.
Having read the C++ for Programmers Article related to Operators,
I learned that Pre and Post-Increment operators behave differently in nature.
The code snippet below does not follow the concepts discussed in the Pre vs. Post-Increment section in the Operators Article (C++ for Programmers):
Operators Article (C++ for Programmers)
Code Snippets:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
// This code returns 4 as answer, where it should be 3 (according to the article)
int x= 1;
x = x++ + ++x ;
std::cout<< x << std::endl;
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
int main() {
//This code returns 5 as answer, where it should be 3 (according to the article)
int x= 1;
x = ++x + x++;
std::cout<< x << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Please explain why do I get these outputs, and if thereās any misunderstanding from me with learning the concepts, then also let me know.
Thanks.
