Description

"++i" increments the variable before using its value in an expression, while "i++" uses the variable's original value and then increments it. "i--" uses the variable's value before decrementing it, while "--i" decrements it first. These forms depend on the expression's increment or decrement time.There is usually no speed difference between "++i" and "i++" or "--i" and "i--." Modern compilers optimize both types of code.But,++i it may be marginally faster in some scenarios.Also,”--i” is very similar to the ++i operator.
