Prompt
This one symbol can change your program output. --- Most students think i++ and ++i are the same. They are NOT. i++ means: use the value first, then increase it. ++i means: increase the value first, then use it. Example: int i = 5; printf("%d\n", i++); printf("%d\n", ++i); The first line prints 5, then i becomes 6. The second line increases first, so it prints 7. So what should you use? Use i++ in loops, when the old value is used first. Use ++i when you need the updated value immediately. Simple rule: Loops → i++ Expressions → think carefully.
