What are postfix operators in C++?
Postfix operators are unary operators that work on a single variable which can be used to increment or decrement a value by 1(unless overloaded). There are 2 postfix operators in C++, ++ and --.
In the postfix notation (i.e., i++), the value of i is incremented, but the value of the expression is the original value of i. So basically it first assigns a value to expression and then increments the variable. For example,
Example
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int j = 0, i = 10; // If we assign j to be i++, j will take i's current // value and i's value will be increatemnted by 1. j = i++; cout << j << ", " << i << "\n"; return 0; }
Output
This will give the output −
10, 11
