    increment operator

    What's the main difference between two operators in the codes

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    int main ()
    {
       int A = 1;
        A++;
       
       printf(" A = %d ", A);
    
    
        return 0;	
    }
    Output : A = 2

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    int main ()
    {
       int A = 1;
        ++A;
       
       printf(" A = %d ", A);
    
    
        return 0;	
    }
    Output : A = 2

    Both operators gives same output

    In this context, i.e., when they are used standalone, there is effectively no difference. The differences only matter when they are used as part of a larger expression.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
