Both the ++ and — operators can be used as prefix or postfix operators.
num1 = 3; num2 = ++num1; // num1 = 4, num2 = 4
In prefix form, the compiler will first increment num1 by 1 and then will assign it to num2.
num1 = 3; num2 = num1++; // num2 = 3, num1 = 4
In postfix form, the compiler will first assign num1 to num2 and then increment num1 by 1.
More C# Examples
num1 = 5; num2 = --num1; // num2 = 4, num1 = 4
num1 = 5; num2 = num1--; // num2 = 5, num1 = 4
using System;
namespace VariableDemo
{
class OperatorDemo
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int a = 5, b, c;
b = a++ + 3;
c = --a;
Console.WriteLine("The value of a is " + a);
Console.WriteLine("The value of b is " + b);
Console.WriteLine("The value of c is " + c);
}
}
}
Output of the above C# program…
