Difference between prefix and postfix operators in C#?
Prefix Operator
The increment operator ++ if used as prefix on a variable, the value of variable gets incremented by 1. After that the value is returned unlike Postfix operator. It is called Prefix increment operator. In the same way the prefix decrement operator works but it decrements by 1.
For example, an example of prefix operator −
++a;
The following is an example demonstrating Prefix increment operator −
Example
using System;
class Program {
static void Main() {
int a, b;
a = 50;
Console.WriteLine(++a);
b = a;
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
}
}output
51 51 51
Postfix Operator
The increment operator ++ if used as postfix on a variable, the value of variable is first returned and then gets incremented by 1. It is called Postfix increment operator. In the same way the decrement operator works but it decrements by 1.
An example of Postfix operator.
a++;
The following is an example showing how to work with postfix operator −
Example
using System;
class Program {
static void Main() {
int a, b;
a = 10;
Console.WriteLine(a++);
b = a;
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(b);
}
}Output
10 11 11
