Is it BETTER to use i++ or ++i?

Learn the KEY difference between i++ and ++i in Java, C, or C++! You'll also learn when the difference matters versus when you can not worry about it, and we'll answer if it's BETTER to use i++ or ++i. This video explains how i++ differs from ++i in the langauges C++, Java, and C. The ++ operator adds one to a variable, but that's not all it does. We also call these two operators the suffix increment operator and the prefix increment operator. You'll learn how the ++ operator/increment operator works with for loops, while loops, when used inside a mathematical expression, and when by itself.
